Baked spaghetti with spicy meatballs

Baked spaghetti with spicy meatballs, yogurt, eggs and grated cheese, browned at 180°C. The meatballs stay visible on top, while the yogurt and eggs hold the pasta together, with browned cheese on the surface; I pick my portion from the edge of the pan, where the spaghetti gets a little crust. Preparation: 20 minutes. Cooking: 39 minutes. Total time: 59 minutes. Serves: 4. Approximately 600 kcal and 32 g protein per serving.
Ingredients
- 200 g Hutton spaghetti
- 2000 ml water
- 4 eggs
- 300 g Greek yogurt
- 100 g grated cheese
- 15 g fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 10 g butter
- 11 spicy meatballs
Preparation
1. Boil 200 g spaghetti in 2000 ml water for 9 minutes or for the time indicated on the package, until al dente. Drain. 2. Beat the eggs, then stir in the Greek yogurt, grated cheese and finely chopped parsley. The mixture should be smooth. Season with salt and pepper. 3. Grease the baking dish with butter and arrange the spaghetti in it. Pour the yogurt and egg mixture over the top. 4. Arrange the meatballs on top and bake at 180°C for 30 minutes, until the surface is browned and the mixture has set.
Notes
A green salad with a tangy dressing goes well on the side. For a gluten-free version, use 200 g gluten-free spaghetti, cooked according to the time on the package; the eggs and dairy stay the same, and the regular version contains gluten. Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Large meatballs take longer to heat through than small ones, so cut them in half if they are over about 4 cm. A wide baking dish makes for a thinner layer and a more evenly browned surface.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use penne instead of spaghetti?
Yes. Cook 200 g penne for 1 minute less than the time on the package, then drain well.
What should I do if the Greek yogurt is very runny?
Leave it in a fine-mesh sieve for 15 minutes before mixing it with the eggs, so the excess liquid can drain off.
Can I use smoked cheese too?
Yes, replace the 100 g cheese with 100 g smoked cheese; the flavor will be more pronounced.
