I love Saturdays. Well, Saturdays off that is. There is nothing like a day with nothing on your agenda. First I went and did a little Valentine’s day shopping. I have never spent so much time in a card aisle. There were tons of cards and I was struggling to find the “special, perfect” card.
I mean seriously who could pass that up? My little brother came over and then my husband and his little brother stopped by as they were out in the neighborhood and couldn’t pass up the monkey bread. After that, well I have done nothing. Blissful!
Now we are planning supper, out to Jason’s dad’s house for a bit tonight, and then to a wedding dance and picking up our niece from that. I’d say that’s a good Saturday!

Made this for dinner tonight and it was a big hit!!
Glad you enjoyed it Karen!
The way I learned it in Indiana was to add chopped scallions to the cottage cheese & use cheddar vs mozz. Big family fave! Kids really love it.
Love that twist too!
Your recipe motivated me to make a batch since I had all of the ingredients, so thank you! My 30 yr old son thanks you too since he loves spaghetti pie big time! Even took a huge batch to work the next day for lunch.
So glad you all enjoyed it!
Would this work without cottage cheese?
You could sub ricotta or skip it I think.
Spaghetti Pie is one of my favorite meals. It’s so easy and you can change up the ingredients
Yes it is! YUM!
Do you bake and let it cool before freezing or just assemble and freeze?
Assemble and freeze!
Made this for dinner tonight, and we loved it! Cheesy and delicious, and perfect comfort food! And my husband will be taking leftovers for work tomorrow. 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing!

This looks like such a fun idea to give spaghetti & sauce a facelift.
