Step-by-Step Method
Heat the oven and form the spaghetti crust
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cooked, drained spaghetti with the egg and Parmesan. Press it evenly into the bottom of a baking dish to make a firm base.
Cook the beef sauce
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Add onion, green pepper, fennel seed, and garlic, then cook 2–3 minutes until softened. Stir in tomato sauce and oregano and let it simmer briefly to thicken.
Layer the filling
Spread the cottage cheese over the spaghetti crust. Spoon the beef tomato sauce on top, then finish with an even layer of shredded mozzarella.
Bake, rest, and slice
Bake for 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and lightly golden in spots. Let it rest for 5 minutes so it cuts cleanly, then slice and serve.
