Ingredients
1 lb. ground beef
1 lb. cottage cheese
1 lb. mozzarella cheese
1 lb. dried pasta noodles (not lasagna noodles)
1 large jar spaghetti sauce
Directions
- Cook pasta to al dente
- Brown ground beef
- Combine all ingredients reserving about 1/3 of mozzarella
- Pour mixture into case role dish
- Top with remaining mozzarella
- Cook at 350 degrees for approximately 45 minutes or until bubbly
Hints:
- For a low-fat version use ground turkey, fat free cottage cheese and low-fat mozzarella (or omit mozzarella)
- If mixture seems crumbly or too dry before you put it in the casserole dish add more spaghetti sauce
- If you want to make this more complicated you can make your spaghetti sauce from scratch
- Any pasta noodles will work except for lasagna noodles

I've been making this since I first got married and we were too poor to afford cheese (and sometimes meat). It even tastes good if you make it with pasta, cottage cheese and spaghetti sauce.
