mixture into a "crust"' in a buttered 10-inch pie plate. Spread
cottage cheese over bottom of spaghetti crust.
In a skillet cook ground beef or pork sausage, onion and green pepper
until vegetables are tender and meat is browned. Drain off excess fat.

salt; heat through.
Turn meat mixture into spaghetti crust. Bake, uncovered, in 350 oven
for 20 minutes. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese atop. Bake 5 minutes
longer or until cheese melts.
