Instructions
- Cook, drain, and toss the spaghetti with butter, cheese, and parsley.
- Put the olive oil and onion into a small saucepan, and turn on the heat to medium. Cook until the onion becomes colored a golden brown, then add the cut-up drained tomatoes and salt. Cook for about 20 minutes, until the oil floats free. Take off heat.
- When the tomatoes have cooled, mix in the diced mozzarella and ham. Spoon off most of the oil.
- Add the tossed sauced spaghetti, salt, and pepper to the beaten egg, mixing thoroughly.
- Put the 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet, melt, and put in just half the pasta and egg mixture, spreading it uniformly.
- Pour the tomato and mozzarella filling over it, spreading evenly but stopping short of the edge.
- Pour in the remaining half of the spaghetti mixture to cover the filling. Finish cooking stovetop and then under broiler.
