By Courtney McEwen
“Spring has sprung! Let’s celebrate with a big pan of Sausage Baked Spaghetti!”
1 package (16 oz.) spaghetti
1 lb. Italian sausage
2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 jar (24 oz.) marinara sauce
2 eggs, whisked
8 oz. cottage cheese
4 cups mozzarella cheese, grated
2 cups parmesan cheese, grated
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven at 350 degrees. Cook spaghetti until al dente. Drain, rinse, and set aside. In medium skillet, begin to brown sausage. Add green onions and garlic powder and stir. When meat is thoroughly cooked, drain and add to mixing bowl with marinara sauce. Add preferred amounts of salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, mix whisked eggs, cottage cheese and parmesan together. Grease a 9×13 dish and start layering with half the noodles on the bottom. Next, layer half the cottage cheese mixture. Spread half of meat mixture on next, followed by half the mozzarella. Repeat layers again, finishing by topping with remaining mozzarella. Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove foil and bake for additional 15 minutes to melt cheese. Serve & enjoy!
