Instructions: Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions: drain. Stir butter or margarine into hot spaghetti. Stir in Parmesan cheese and eggs. Form spaghetti mixture into a "crust" in a buttered pie plate (10"). Spread cottage cheese over the bottom of the spaghetti crust. In a skillet, cook ground beef or pork sausage, onion and green bell pepper until vegetables are tender and meat is browned; drain off excess fat. Stir in undrained tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, oregano and garlic powder: heat through.

Place meat mixture into the spaghetti crust. Bake (uncovered) at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Sprinkle Mozzarella cheese on top. Bake for 5 minutes longer, or until cheese melts.

Makes 6 servings.
