Three Cheese Spaghetti

I tried this recipe this past week and everyone loved it. Elijah ate 3 helpings. We'll definitely be having this again!! I served it with garlic bread and tossed salad.

Ingredients:
8 oz spaghetti
2 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp dried parsley
1 cup cottage cheese
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
6 oz (1 1/2 cups) shredded mozzarella cheese
8 oz ground beef
1 clove garlic, minced (I substituted dried minced garlic)
1/2 onion, chopped (I substituted onion powder)
1/4 tsp black pepper
3 cups spaghetti sauce
1/2 tbsp sugar (I probably won't use this much next time - it was a little too sweet for me)
1 tsp Italian seasoning
2 oz (1/2 cup) shredded mozzarella cheese

1. Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Drain and return to pan (removed from heat). Add butter and stir until melted. Add salt, parsley, cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, and mozzarella cheese, stirring to combine. Spread pasta-cheese mixture in the bottom of a greased 8" square baking dish.
2. Brown ground beef with the garlic and onion. Drain grease and return to pan. Add pepper, spaghetti sauce, sugar, and Italian seasoning. Stir well and then pour over the pasta, spreading evenly. Sprinkle cheese on top.
3. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until top cheese is browned and spaghetti is bubbly.
