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.
