Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 6 ounces spaghetti
• 2 large eggs
• cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 onion, chopped
• cup chopped green bell pepper
• 1 cup chopped tomatoes
• 6 ounces tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• teaspoon salt
• teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350F (175C). Grease a 10-inch pie plate or springform pan.
2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Stir in 1 tablespoon of oil and 2 teaspoons of salt. Cook the spaghetti in the boiling water-oil mixture, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and transfer the cooked spaghetti to a large bowl.
3. Mix the eggs, Parmesan cheese, and butter into the spaghetti until well combined. Press and shape the mixture into the prepared pie plate to form the crust.
4. Spread the cottage cheese evenly over the crust.
5. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, onion, and green bell pepper. Cook and stir until the beef is fully browned and crumbly, about 5 to 7 minutes.
6. Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, oregano, teaspoon salt, and garlic powder. Stir until everything is well combined.
7. Spread the beef mixture over the cottage cheese layer in the pie plate.
8. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
9. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top and continue baking until the cheese is bubbly and beginning to brown, about 5 to 10 more minutes.
