Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) vegetable oil
- 2 Pinch salt, to taste
- 6 Ounces (oz) spaghetti
- 2 Large eggs
- 0.33 Cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) butter, softened
- 1 Cup cottage cheese
- 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) vegetable oil
- 1 Pound (lb) lean ground beef
- 1 Medium onion, minced
- 0.25 Cups green bell pepper, minced
- 1 Cup tomatoes, minced
- 6 Ounces (oz) tomato paste
- 1 Teaspoon (tsp) white sugar
- 1 Teaspoon (tsp) dried oregano
- 0.5 Pinch salt, to taste
- 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) garlic powder
- 2 Ounces (oz) mozzarella cheese, shredded
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-inch pie plate or springform pan.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and 2 pinches of salt. Cook the spaghetti until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
- 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 a crust. Spread the cottage cheese over the crust.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir the beef, onion, and green pepper until thoroughly browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in the tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, oregano, 0.5 pinch of salt, and garlic powder until combined. Spread this mixture over the cottage cheese layer.
- Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and continue baking until the cheese is bubbly and beginning to brown, about 5 to 10 minutes more.
