Ingredients:

1 lb. spaghetti
1 cube margarine
3 eggs
2/3 c. parmesan cheese
2 c. Ricotta OR cottage cheese
1 can spaghetti sauce
1 1/2 lb. ground beef or turkey
1 c. mozarella cheese
dehydrated onions (optional)

Directions:

Cook spaghetti. When done, drain well and put back into pot. Stir in margarine, eggs and parmesan cheese. Form a "crust" using the spaghetti in 2 pie pans. Deep pans work the best.

Into each pan, spread 1 cup of Ricotta or cottage cheese. Set aside.

Brown 1 1/2 lb. hamburger. Season with dehydrated onions and salt if desired. Drain. Stir in 1 can of spaghetti sauce. Divide into pie pans. Top each pie with shredded mozarella cheese. Cover the edges of the pans with foil to avoid overcooking crust.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
