This is a dish intended for your left-over spaghetti. In my house there never seems to be enough left over to make this, so seeing as we love this dish a lot I make it with fresh spaghetti. Night #1 we are all dancing in our seat with pleasure as we eat dinner and lunch on day #2 is a treat beyond words.

Step 6
Spread half the spaghetti with sauce into the prepared baking dish.
Step 7
Spread the cottage cheese mixture evenly over the spaghetti.
