Whole Grain Baked Spaghetti Recipe
This recipe comes from our good friend Carrie Lauth at www.NaturalMomsRecipes.com. It’s a great dish to use when introducing whole wheat pasta to your family. It’s been a big hit in our house and I’m going to fix it quite regularly. I serve it with a big salad or some steamed veggies for a healthy Italian dinner.
Whole Grain Baked Spaghetti
Preheat oven to 350.
1 T extra virgin olive oil
1 12 oz. container cottage cheese
8 ounces ground turkey
1 cup sliced mushrooms
one half small onion, diced
half small green pepper, chopped
2 teaspoons diced garlic
1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
1 1/2 tsp. Italian seasonings
dash salt
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Cook whole grain spaghetti according to package directions, drain and set aside. Spray a deep pie plate with olive oil cooking spray. In a medium bowl, beat 1 egg with Parmesan cheese and olive oil. Add noodles to egg mixture, stir gently and place in pie plate.
In a small bowl, mix 1 egg with the cottage cheese. Spread onto the noodles.
Cook ground turkey along with the vegetables until meat is thoroughly browned. Stir in tomato sauce and seasonings. Then spoon on top of noodle/cheese mixture in the pie plate.
Bake 25-30 minutes then stop with mozzarella cheese. Return to oven and bake until cheese melts.

found the image for the hunt! That sounds good, the cottage cheese part might be the hardest part to pass off to my family though, I am the only one who likes it. I grew up eating it as a side dish with most meals with salt and pepper on it.
