6 ounces spaghetti, cooked
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
2 eggs
1 cup cottage or ricotta cheese
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
8 ounce can stewed tomatoes, undrained and chopped
6 ounce can tomato paste
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
Preheat oven to 350. Stir together cooked spaghetti, butter, Parmesan and eggs. Spoon mixture into a buttered 9-inch pie plate, pressing to form a "crust." Spread cottage or ricotta cheese over crust. Meanwhile, brown beef in a skillet; drain fat. Stir in onion, green pepper, tomatoes and liquid, tomato paste, sugar, oregano, and garlic powder. Pour meat mixture over cottage/ricotta. Bake 30 minutes. Sprinkle mozzarella on top and bake 5 more minutes.
