SPAGHETTI PIE

HERE IS A NEW ONE...WE HAVE MADE THIS A FEW TIMES. THE KIDS EAT THIS BETTER THAN LASAGNA!!

1 package spaghetti--try to sneak in whole wheat!! The kids won't know!!
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 eggs, beaten
ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
garlic, minced
1 can diced tomatoes
1 tsp oregano
1 container cottage cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

You gotta cook the spaghetti on this one; al dente, then it will still freeze and cook up good.

**I always toss a bit of Olive Oil in the pot while the noodles are boiling, then they won't stick!!

**I have frozen this recipe at least 4 times, and I have never had the noodles be smooshy.

Rinse the noodles in cold water and let stand. Mix the eggs with the cottage cheese and the parm. Spoon this over the noodles and put into the casserole dish.

* I always spray my casseroles with Pam, not the cheap stuff...

Mix all else with the spag. sauce and spoon over the noodles. Top with the Mozz.

Freeze or bake 1 hour at 375


If you are concerned about the kids finding out their noodles are different, you can try mixing 1/2 whole wheat with the regular noodles. I'll bet they won't even notice!!
