  • Filling

    • 🍖 1 pound lean ground beef
    • 🧅 ½ cup chopped onion
    • ¼ cup chopped green bell pepper
    • 🧄 1 clove garlic, minced
    • 🍅 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch pie plate with 1 tablespoon butter.

2

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in boiling water until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.

3

Stir Parmesan cheese, beaten eggs, and 2 tablespoons butter into hot spaghetti. Form mixture into a crust in the prepared pie plate.

4

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook beef, onion, bell pepper, and garlic until beef browns, about 5–7 minutes. Drain fat, then add tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, and oregano. Stir and heat through.

5

Spread cottage cheese over the spaghetti crust, then pour the beef-tomato mixture over it.

6

Bake the pie in the oven for 20 minutes. Sprinkle mozzarella over the top and bake for an additional 5 minutes until melted.
