Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb uncooked spaghetti
4 eggs
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup butter, cut into chunks
1 container (8 oz) cottage cheese
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 lb ground beef
1 jar (25.5 oz) Muir Glen™ organic tomato basil pasta sauce

  • Add cottage cheese and cream cheese to the pot you tossed the spaghetti in, and mix until combined. Pour the cheese mixture directly over the spaghetti mixture, spreading it out in an even layer.
  • Heat 10-inch skillet (or use the pot you cooked the spaghetti in) over medium heat, and brown the beef, 5 to 8 minutes; drain. Remove from heat, and stir in the pasta sauce and cream. Spread mixture over cheese layer. Then add the mozzarella cheese in an even layer over top.
  • Place baking dish on large cookie sheet. Bake 30 to 45 minutes or until the cheese is melted and lightly browned on top. Cool 5 minutes before serving. Serve with fresh mozzarella and basil, if desired.

MILLION DOLLAR SPAGHETTI SAUCE FOR A CROWD



Million Dollar Spaghetti Sauce for a Crowd image

We cooked this tasty spaghetti sauce for a huge PTA fundraiser, People asked for the recipe. It makes enough for 50 servings but can be doubled, etc. Use separate pots for each recipe you cook. We cooked all this food in the school cafeteria kitchen. I had a lot of admiration for the school kitchen chefs after this one meal.

I have made this for over 25 years and is exceptionally good and easy. It is delicious with a tossed salad and crusty garlic bread. It is not your traditional pasta and sauce, but an elegant one-dish meal. You can prepare it in the morning and it is all ready for the evening meal.
