Ingredients:
6 oz of spaghetti (in our case two bowl fulls of the angel hair frozen which we ran hot water into and then drained)
2T butter (soft or melted)
1/2 C grated parmesan cheese
2 well beaten eggs
1 pound of ground beef or bulk pork sausage
1/2 C chopped onion
3/4 C chopped green pepper (we used red as it is sweet)
Sauce, here we differed, the original recipe has you making your sauce up from scratch, we just used half a jar of prepared sauce from the store, so do what you want. We only used half a jar so it was thick and not too thin.
Salt, pepper and if you want thow in extra herbs
1 C cottage cheese (but we used ricotta cheese)
1/2 C shredded mozzarella cheese (we used monterey jack)
Directions:
Cook spaghetti as directed, drain and then stir butter into the hot spaghetti and the parmesan cheese. Then form it into a crust in a buttered 10 inch pie plate, pushing it all around.
Spread ricotta cheese on the bottom of that.
Cook up the ground beef, salt + pepper, add onion and red pepper. When done, add the sauce and heat all up.
spread that into the crust and bake 350 degrees for 20 minutes and then add the mozarella or monterey jack chees on top and cook another 5 minutes or when it is melted nicely.
Take out and serve ...sice it up just like a pie....mange!
