It is an excellent recipe, easy too. I've made it twice in two months and it always has received rave reviews each time. I prefer to use my own sauce over the jar stuff. Hans' sauce recipe that has been shared here from Betty Feezor would be perfect in this.
1 16oz box of spaghetti noodles
1 pound ground beef or turkey
1 28oz. jar of any variety spaghetti sauce
Four cups mozzarella cheese
One 16oz container of cottage cheese
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
Two eggs
5 tablespoons butter, melted
Cook 1 16 oz box of spaghetti according to directions, drain
Brown one lb. of ground beef or turkey, drain. Mix browned meat with one large jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce, set aside
In a LARGE bowl, mix 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, two eggs, and 5 tablespoons melted butter. Stir until well blended.
Stir in the cooked spaghetti noodles and continue stirring until all noodles are coated with egg/cheese mixture.
In a lightly greased 13x9 pan, place half the noodle mixture. On top of the noodles, spread half the cottage cheese, then half the sauce/meat, and 2 cups of the mozzarella cheese, in layers.
Repeat a second layer with noodles, cottage cheese, sauce, and cover with the rest of the Mozzarella.
Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes, then check casserole. Bake up to 15 minutes longer or until edges are bubbly and cheese begins to brown. This almost over-fills a 13x9 pan, so I put a catch pan underneath it while in the oven to catch spills.
