6 oz. spaghetti
2 tbsp. butter
1/3 c. grated Parmesan cheese
2 well-beaten eggs
1 c. cottage cheese
1 lb. ground beef (or pork sausage, if you prefer)

1/4 c. chopped green pepper
1 (8 oz.) can tomatoes, cut up
1 (6 oz.) can tomato paste
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. garlic salt

Heat through. Turn mixture into spaghetti crust and bake, uncovered, in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes. Sprinkle Mozzarella cheese on top. Bake added 5 minutes or until cheese melts. Makes about 6 servings.
