Instructions

Lightly grease a deep dish pie plate with cooking spray*
Cook spaghetti noodles according to package directions. Drain, and add hot noodles to a large bowl.
In a small bowl, beat the egg. Add the butter and the warm pasta. Toss until butter is melted. Add parmesan cheese, basil, and a little salt and pepper and toss everything gently to combine. Empty pasta mixture into prepared pie pan and pat firmly into pan.
Spread cottage cheese evenly over the top of the pasta. Spoon your favorite spaghetti sauce over top and smooth into an even layer.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing into wedges and serving.
Store leftover spaghetti pie in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave.

Notes

Make Ahead Instructions: Make the spaghetti pie completely, but don't bake it. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours, until ready to bake. If you want to prepare it more than 1 day in advance, I would suggest not adding the pasta sauce until right before you bake it (otherwise liquid from the sauce may pool at the bottom of the pan while it sits in the fridge for so long).
Freezing Instructions: Cook the noodles just barely until al dente (don't overcook). Assemble the pie, cover with a double layer of aluminum foil and freeze for up to 3 months. (Spray the bottom layer of aluminum foil with non-stick cooking spray). Thaw in the fridge before baking. I like to serve with extra sauce, since some of the sauce will have soaked up in the noodles over time.
Gluten-free Adaptations: use gluten-free spaghetti noodles.
Meat in the Sauce: Use my easy spaghetti sauce with meat, or add cooked ground beef to the marinara sauce.
