6 oz spaghetti

1 TB butter

2 eggs, beaten

3/4 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup ricotta cheese

2 TB pesto

3 slices provolone cheese

1 pound ground beef (or turkey)

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 jar spaghetti sauce

Directions:

Cook and drain spaghetti. Stir in butter, ricotta and eggs while spaghetti is hot. Form mixture into a crust in a baking dish.
