    • 1 (32 ounce) jar meatless spaghetti sauce

  • Seasonings

    • 🧂 ½ teaspoon seasoned salt

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

2

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti for about 12 minutes, until tender but firm. Drain.

3

In a skillet, cook and stir ground beef and onion over medium heat until browned and soft, about 5-7 minutes.

4

Drain excess oil from the skillet. Stir in spaghetti sauce and seasoned salt.

5

Whisk eggs, Parmesan cheese, and melted butter in a large bowl. Add cooked spaghetti and toss to coat evenly.

6

Layer half the spaghetti mixture in the prepared baking dish. Top with half the cottage cheese, 2 cups mozzarella, and half the meat sauce. Repeat layers.

7

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 40 minutes.

8

Remove foil. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup mozzarella over the top. Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes until cheese is melted and lightly browned.

9

Serve warm and enjoy your baked spaghetti.
