Servings: 6
- 1 8oz. pkg spaghetti
- ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 2 tablespoons butter cut into small cubes
- 1 pound lean ground chicken
- ½ onion chopped
- ½ green bell pepper chopped
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes
- 6 oz. can tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Preheat the oven to 350℉. Grease a 10-inch pie plate.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain spaghetti.
In a large bowl; beat eggs then add parmesan cheese and butter. Add hot spaghetti, stir until well combined. Form spaghetti mixture onto the sides and bottom of the prepared pie plate into a crust and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and breakup chicken, onion, bell pepper, and garlic in the hot skillet, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in undrained tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, and oregano. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
Spread cottage cheese over spaghetti crust, then pour in filling.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the top of pie and continue baking until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes more.
