Cook spaghetti according to the directions on box. 
I really love Pot-Sized Spaghetti. No more breaking or cutting noodles!
Drain your hot spaghetti noodles then add to a large bowl.
Add beaten eggs, Parmesan cheese and butter.
 Mix well.
Using your hands, pat the mixture into a 9-10 inch pie plate to form a crust.
Top crust with cottage cheese and spread to cover.
Meanwhile add ground beef to a skillet and cook until browned. 
Drain grease.
I like to use an affordable but good quality pasta sauce like this one.
I chose a basic Four Cheese flavor so it would be kid friendly.
Drain and add to a bowl along with the marinara sauce. 
Pour the sauce on top of the cottage cheese and spread to cover.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
Remove from oven and sprinkle on 1 cup Italian shredded cheese, covering the top.
Bake for 5 more minutes or until bubbly and the cheese is melted. 
Hot out of the oven! 
Let stand 5 minutes before cutting.
Slice and serve warm with a side salad.
That is the face of an excited toddler! 
You better believe she ate it all and asked for “More, please!”.

🍜 We had so much fun celebrating Lunar New Year last weekend with dinner at @pho_85_noodle_house_llc in Bentonville, AR! The Banh Mi sandwich and Beef and Seafood Pho soups were filled with fresh ingredients and flavor packed. As you can see their portions were huge so it's a great place to share! We also tried an appetizer sampler, Thai Tea, Coconut Boba Smoothie (my girls' favorite) and macarons for dessert. Everything was made to order and delicious. The staff was kind and helpful. If you live near by, check them out and #eatlocall ! ❤️ @visitbentonville #Bentonville  #pho85noodlehouse #arkansasfoodie #whatsfordinner #arkansasblogger #supportlocal #bentonvillearkansas #lunarnewyear #chinesenewyear
