Ingredients

  • 300 oz. gluten-free spaghetti
  • 2 Tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic, chopped
  • 1 medium carrot, finely grated
  • 1 medium zucchini, peeled and finely grated
  • 1 Tbsp. GF dried basil
  • 2 cups pure tomato sauce, divided
  • 1 GF bay leaf
  • 2 tsp. Pure maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp. Himalayan salt
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, roughly chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 3 large eggs, whisked
  • Tip; to save time, I used a food processor to chop the onions, garlic, grate the carrots and zucchini. First chop the onions and garlic, then grate the carrot and zucchini without rinsing the bowl. (1 minute)

    • Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F and spray a 9-inch springform pan with cooking oil
  • Cook pasta per package directions, rinse with cold water, drain and cool.
  • Sauté onions and garlic in olive oil until soft. About 5 minutes
  • Stir in carrots, zucchini, basil, 1 1/4 cup of tomato sauce, bay leaf, maple syrup/honey salt and 1/4 cup of water. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Since the vegetables are finely grated, they will cook very quickly. Remove from the heat, discard the bay leaf and stir in cream cheese until melted
  • Mix 1 cup of mozzarella cheese with eggs
  • Stir tomato sauce with vegetables through the pasta, then add the cheese and egg mixture and mix until combined
  • Transfer spaghetti into prepared pan and top with remaining tomato sauce. Bake for 45 minutes, then sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese and bake 5 more minutes until cheese has melted
  • Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes. Then run a knife inside the edge before releasing the sides. Slice into wedges and enjoy!
