Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • 12 ounces spaghetti
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 2/3 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup cottage cheese, or more to taste
  • 1 (28 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, or to taste

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 12 minutes; drain and transfer to a large bowl.

Step 3
Mix eggs, Parmesan cheese, and butter with the spaghetti to coat pasta completely; spread into the prepared baking dish. Spread cottage cheese over the spaghetti to cover completely. Spread spaghetti sauce over the cottage cheese; top with a layer of mozzarella cheese.

Step 4
Bake until hot in the center, about 30 minutes.

Recipe Tip

Add cooked meat with the spaghetti, eggs, and Parmesan cheese for more protein.
