This is easy and different. You can make it the night before and it heats up well for leftovers. Makes you wish you were Italian (except for the excess facial hair).
This would be good for a book club dinner to discuss Eat, Pray, Love - since the character went to Italy to "find herself". She also went to India, but I don't like Indian food. Top it off with a HUGE hot fudge sundae to represent the self-indulgence in the book. Obviously, not one of my favorites.
½ box cooked spaghetti
2 Tbsp margarine
2 eggs, well beaten
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
1 cup cottage cheese, drained
1 lb.. hamburger, browned and drained

Mix cooked spaghetti, margarine, eggs and parmesan cheese. Place in the bottom of a greased pie plate or 8 x 8 inch pan. Press down to form a crust. Top with cottage cheese then hamburger and sausage. Add sauce and then cheese on top. Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes.
