Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon butter, softened, for greasing
-
1 (6 ounce) package spaghetti
-
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
2 large eggs, beaten
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
1 pound lean ground beef
-
½ cup chopped onion
-
¼ cup chopped green bell pepper
-
1 clove garlic, minced
-
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
-
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
-
1 teaspoon white sugar
-
1 teaspoon dried oregano
-
1 cup cottage cheese
-
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch pie plate with 1 tablespoon butter.
-
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain spaghetti through a colander and return to the pot.
-
Stir Parmesan cheese, beaten eggs, and 2 tablespoons butter into hot spaghetti until well combined. Form spaghetti mixture into a crust in the prepared pie plate and set aside.
-
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef, onion, bell pepper, and garlic in the hot skillet until beef is crumbly and browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off fat and stir in undrained tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, and oregano. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
-
Spread cottage cheese over spaghetti crust, then pour in beef-tomato mixture.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the top of pie and continue baking until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes more.
