Spaghetti Pie
By kelly2kyle
The first step is to cook the spaghetti. The recipe calls for 4 oz. of uncooked spaghetti which is about the size of a quarter if you hold the spaghetti together in a bundle. In the meantime, cook the ground beef, green pepper and onion in a large pot for about 10 minutes or until the beef is cooked.Then stir in a can of pasta sauce, chili powder, salt and pepper and cook for an additional 6 minutes.While the sauce is cooking, place the cooked spaghetti in a 10-inch glass pie plate that is greased with olive oil. This becomes the “pie crust”.Then mix together eggs and cottage cheese and spread over the spaghetti.Top the cottage mixture with the beef mixture.Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top and put in the oven to bake at 375 F for 35 minutes.
