6 ounces spaghetti
2 tablespoons margarine
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 eggs, well beaten
1 cup cottage cheese
1 pound ground beef or bulk pork sausage
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup green pepper, chopped
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can tomato, cut up
6 ounces tomato paste
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Cook spaghetti according to directions and drain. (Should have about 3 cups cooked spaghetti.) Stir in oleo until melted. Stir in Parmesan cheese and eggs. Form spaghetti mixture into a "crust" in a buttered 10-inch pie plate. Spread cottage cheese over the bottom of spaghetti crust.

In a skillet cook meat, onion, and green pepper until cooked. Drain off fat. Stir in undrained tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, oregano, and garlic salt. Heat through. Add meat mixture over cottage cheese in "crust." Bake uncovered at 350° for 20 minutes. Add mozzarella cheese on top and bake for 5 minutes longer.

Editor's Extra: This dish is a make-again favorite. Good to freeze, and great to take and bake elsewhere.
