Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 eggs, beaten
• ⅔ cup Parmesan cheese
• 12 ounces spaghetti
• 1 (28 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
• cooking spray
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, or to taste
• 1 cup cottage cheese, or more to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 9x13-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.
