Spaghetti Pie from MaryJane Butters

I think I may have posted this recipe before a long time ago, but I made it this morning to bake this evening and thought I would post it again!  I got it from a MaryJanesFarm cookbook that was done several years ago.  Here is the easy recipe:

12 ounces spaghetti (about 1 1/2 inch across in your fist)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
2 cups cottage cheese
3 cups spaghetti sauce (home-made or 1 large bottle)
1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
3 Tbsp butter
2 eggs, well beaten

Cook spaghetti as usual.  Drain.  Stir butter into hot spaghetti.  Stir in parmesan cheese and eggs.  In two buttered 9" pie plates form "crusts" by putting the spaghetti divided equally into the bottom of both pie plates.  Spread cottage cheese evenly over both "crusts."  To each pie, payer 1 1/2 cups sauce on top of cottage cheese.  Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over both pies.
Bake 350 degrees for 35 minutes.  Let cool 5 minutes.  Cut into wedges and serve.  This refrigerates nicely and you can make it early in the day, or reheat for another meal. 

The winner is.......

Quiltingnana!  Congratulations!  Let me know your address.

Confessions time.  I fell asleep after Dancing with the Stars.  I woke up a little bit ago and thought, Oh No, I forgot to pick a winner of the giveaway!  I am so sorry! 

I have more crocheted items, so I am going to do another giveaway in the next week, so I will leave all the remaining names in the hat, fi you want me to! 

My first Give-Away ever.....do you like crocheted things?

The crocheted items in this photo are my first give-away on my blog.  I will announce the winner on Monday night at around 9:00 pm.  Let's just say it is to celebrate Columbus Day!  Just post here if you want your name in the hat!  

In the dark....

I usually like to include a photo with every post, but tonight for the first time, I have taken my laptop out to the back porch, and dark is falling.  I am listening to the night sounds just beginning.  I do not happen to have a photo of that.  I think I hear the fox coming for his dinner.  He has been making himself hard to see lately.  In the summer, he came and pranced all around the back yard, sometimes beringing a friend or two......maybe he is protecting something.

The weather here now is perfect.  Dry, sunny, warm but not hot.  I have been outside as much as possible.  Got to soak it up while it lasts.  Ironically, perfect weather is a rare thing here in North Florida.  The stars lately have been huge and bright.  No hurricanes (knock on wood), just a beautiful breeze.   

Quilt in the works

Another grandbaby is on the way, and I make a quilt for each.  Do not know yet if this one is a boy or a girl, but I chose colors that are muted and this time I did not make it baby-ish.  Don't know why, just felt like trying to make it look vintage and soft in color.  The pattern is called Savannah and is taken from a civil war quilt.
Will show more photos as it progressses.
