Step-by-step
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in an oven-proof 10 or 12 skillet.
- Once oil is shimmering, add the potato noodles and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Toss until cooked and wilted and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk the eggs in the bottom of a large mixing bowl.
- When the potato noodles are done, add them to the bowl with the eggs and toss to combine well.
- Transfer the noodle mixture back into the skillet, spreading them out to cover the bottom of the skillet.
- Place the skillet back over medium-high heat and cook for 5 minutes or until the bottom is set.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until the egg is cooked and the noodles are set and appear firm when pressed down with the back of a spatula. Ideally, the crust should start to brown and perhaps some of the edges are crispy.
- As the crust cooks, place a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and add in the marinara sauce and red pepper flakes.
- Once marinara starts rapidly simmering, lower heat to keep warm as spaghetti pie finishes cooking.
- Slice the pie into four large servings or 8 small servings and serve with about ⅛ cup of sauce and garnish with parmesan cheese.
- Serve.
A Busy Mom's Deliciously Easy Weeknight Meal: Spiralized Potato Spaghetti Pie
Let's be honest, moms are superheroes. We juggle work, kids, school runs, and everything in between. Finding time for a home-cooked meal, let alone one that’s both delicious and healthy, can feel impossible. That’s why I’m so excited to share this recipe for Spiralized Potato Spaghetti Pie with Spicy Marinara Sauce. It’s a game-changer for busy weeknights!
This recipe is my secret weapon. It’s quick to prepare, relatively healthy (hello, spiralized potatoes!), and completely customizable to your family’s preferences. My kids, even my picky eaters, absolutely devour this. The crispy potato crust is addictive, and the spicy marinara sauce adds a delightful kick. The best part? Almost all the prep work can be done ahead of time, allowing you to assemble and bake it when you have a spare 20 minutes.
Why this recipe works for busy moms:
- Minimal prep time: Spiralizing the potatoes takes only a few minutes, and the rest of the assembly is straightforward.
- One-pan wonder: Everything cooks in one skillet, minimizing cleanup.
- Make-ahead friendly: You can prepare the potato noodles and marinara sauce in advance, leaving only the final assembly and baking on the day.
- Kid-approved: My kids love the fun shape of the “spaghetti” and the flavorful sauce.
- Nutrient-packed: Potatoes are a good source of potassium and vitamin C, and this recipe incorporates plenty of vegetables.
Beyond the weeknight dinner: This recipe is incredibly versatile. It’s fantastic for potlucks, parties, or even a fun weekend brunch.

Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings or add-ins. Sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or even some crumbled bacon would make fantastic additions.
Tips for success:
- Use a good quality marinara sauce: The sauce is the star of this dish, so invest in a flavorful marinara sauce.
- Don't overcook the potatoes: You want them tender but still slightly firm.
