1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 egg, well beaten
8 ounce cottage cheese
4 ounces mozzarella cheese

  • Don't overcook the spaghetti: The spaghetti should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked spaghetti will become mushy in the casserole.
  • Use a large casserole dish: A 9x13 inch casserole dish is a good size for a spaghetti casserole. If you use a smaller dish, the casserole may be too thick and not cook evenly.
  • Layer the ingredients carefully: Start with a layer of spaghetti, then add a layer of sauce, then a layer of cheese. Repeat the layers until all of the ingredients have been used.
  • Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and golden brown: The casserole should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes, or until it is bubbly and golden brown on top.
