Step-by-Step Instructions
 

  • tart by gathering all the goodness. Preheat your oven to 350&deg;F (175&deg;C) and give a 9x13-inch baking dish a light grease.
  • In a large pot, bring some salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti until it reaches that perfect mix of tender yet firm, approximately 12 minutes. Drain when done.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, sizzle up the ground beef and chopped onion over a medium heat. Stirring occasionally, allow the meat to brown and onions to soften, taking around 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Once the beef is browned, drain any excess oil, and stir in the spaghetti sauce along with the seasoned salt. It’s a flavor fiesta!
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, Parmesan, and melted butter. Toss in the spaghetti to coat it all in this rich blend.
  • Take half of your noodle concoction and layer it into your prepped dish. Follow up by adding half of the cottage cheese, 2 cups of mozzarella, and half of the meat sauce. Repeat these layers to double the fun!
  • Cover with foil and slide it into the preheated oven for a cozy 40-minute bake. After removing the foil, sprinkle on that last delicious bit of mozzarella.
  • Continue baking until the cheese is irresistibly melted and a shade of golden brown, which should take another 20 to 25 minutes
  • Brace yourself to dive into this comforting dish. Serve it warm and let your tastebuds revel in its savory splendor!

Notes

An extra sprinkle of Parmesan or a dash of your favorite herbs can customize this dish to your heart’s content. Consider pairing with a fresh salad or garlic bread for a full Italian-inspired meal.
