THE BEST SPAGHETTI PIE
This is my new favorite and my family goes ga-ga for it. A dinner pie made from a spaghetti/Parmesan pie crust filled with meat and cheese. YUMMY. It's the cottage cheese that makes it great. For some reason my husband hates cottage cheese but loves this. I got this recipe from an OAMC cookbook.
