Ingredients

  • 6 ounces Spaghetti
  • 2 1/2 quarts of boiling water
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoon salt
  • 2 large-sized eggs
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 2 tablespoon butter Softened
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 pound ground lean beef
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 6 ounces tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 tablespoon salt
  • 1/4 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 2 ounces shredded Mozarella cheese

Instructions

  • Fill a deep skillet with water and boil Spaghetti in it by adding 2 tablespoons of salt. Also in this salted water, pour 1 tablespoon of oil.
  • Boil and cook until the Spaghetti is tenderized enough to be used in your recipe. After cooking drain it.
  • In the next step beat the eggs and add to it along with the Parmesan cheese and butter. Turn this mixture into a crust on a plate which should be already greased.
  • Over this crust sprinkle or make a layer of the shredded cheese. Also at this moment turn your oven on and preheat it to 350 degrees.
  • Take a large frying pan and heat oil in it. Start cooking the grounded beef in this heated oil. Also, add the onions to it at the same time.
  • Stir fry both of them and after frying for a few minutes, add pepper to the mixture and wait until the beef turns brown.
  • Once the beef has started turning brown add the tomatoes and tomato paste to the mixture. Pour some sugar, and sprinkle the oregano, salt, and pepper in it.
  • Once done cool a little and then spread a layer of this mixture over the crust above the layer of cottage cheese.
  • Bake in the oven which is already preheated for half an hour and make sure that it is uncovered.
  • Again spread mozzarella cheese over it and bake for some more time until the cheese melts and the Spaghetti pie is browned.
