I received this recipe years ago at a party. When I try a new recipe and like it, I write the date, who was at the meal and any comments about the dish right on the card. That makes it fun when I go back through my recipes later.

Ingredients

2 large eggs
1-1/2 cups cooked spaghetti
4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
3/4 cup 4% cottage cheese
1 cup pizza sauce
1/2 cup finely shredded carrot
1/4 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions

In a bowl, beat 1 egg. Stir in the spaghetti, 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese and butter; mix well. Spread onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-in. pie plate. Spread spinach over top.
In a bowl, lightly beat the remaining egg. Stir in cottage cheese and remaining Parmesan. Spread over spinach. Combine pizza sauce, carrot, mushrooms, oregano, basil and garlic powder; pour over cottage cheese mixture.
Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25-30 minutes. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese; bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.
