3-1/2 cups cooked spaghetti
2 eggs
2 tablespooons butter or margarine
1/3 cup parmesan cheese
1 cup cottage cheese
mozzarella cheese, grated
Drain spaghetti noodles and place in large bowl. While noodles are still hot, add eggs, butter, and cheese. Put mixture into a 10-inch pie plate and use hands to form mixture into a crust, going up sides of pie plate. Spread 1 cup of cottage cheese over crust mixture. Add your favorite spaghetti sauce over cheese. Cover with foil and let sit in refrigerator for at least 2 hours. This is a great recipe to make one day and bake and serve the next.

Cover and bake in 350-degree-F. oven for 1 hour. Remove foil, sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and return to oven until cheese is melted. Let sit 5 minutes before cutting into wedges and serving.

This is delicious! Serve with French bread and a salad.
