“When you cook too much spaghetti and want to make it into something special, try this! We often have partial cottage cheese containers in the fridge, as well as a few olives left from some other meal, and some limp zucchini that were meant for some other meal. Put them all together and bake. You’ve got something delicious!”
INGREDIENTS/DIRECTIONS:
2-4 cups spaghetti noodles, cooked*
1/2 cup cottage cheese*
1 egg
1-2 zucchini, grated or spiralized*
1-2 cups spaghetti sauce*
grated cheese
salami or pepperoni
olives*
oregano and garlic salt to taste
Heat oven to 350°. Mix together the noodles, cottage cheese, egg, and zucchini. Add a sprinkle of oregano and some garlic salt. Arrange in a greased pie pan. Top with spaghetti sauce, salami, cheese and olives. Bake until cheese is bubbly, around 20 minutes.
