Ingredients:
- 1 pound spaghetti
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 4 cups Marinara Sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 large eggs
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups cottage cheese, divided
- 4 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded and divided
Preparation:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with vegetable oil spray. Cook the spaghetti 2 minutes shy of the package instructions. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef and chopped onion, breaking it up until fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes. Stir in the Marinara Sauce and mix well. In a separate bowl, toss the cooked noodles with kosher salt, eggs, and melted butter.
Layer half of the pasta in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Add half of the cottage cheese, half of the meat sauce, and half of the shredded mozzarella. Repeat the layers with the remaining pasta, cottage cheese, meat sauce, and mozzarella. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese on top is bubbly and golden brown.
Serve this ultimate cheesy baked spaghetti hot and enjoy the perfect blend of pasta, cheese, and savory meat sauce. It’s a crowd-pleasing comfort food that’s easy to make and even easier to love!
