How to make spaghetti pie:

Cook the spaghetti according to package directions; drain. (You should have about 3 1/4 cups cooked spaghetti.) Stir margarine or butter into hot spaghetti. Stir in eggs and Parmesan cheese. Press spaghetti mixture into a buttered 10-inch microwave-safe pie plate, forming a crust. In a 1 1/2-quart microwave-safe casserole, crumble beef or pork sausage. Add onion and green pepper. Cook, covered, at 100° power (High) for 4 to 6 minutes or until vegetables are tender and meat is no longer pink, stirring once. Drain off fat. Stir in undrained tomatoes, tomato paste, flour, sugar, oregano and garlic salt. Cook, uncovered, on High for 6 to 8 minutes or until bubbly, stirring every 3 minutes. Cook on High for 1 minute more. Cover and set aside.

Cover the spaghetti crust with microwave-safe wrap. Turn back one side to vent. Cook on 50% power (Medium) for 5 to 7 minutes or until just set, giving the dish 1/2 turn once. Spread cottage cheese onto the bottom of the prepared spaghetti crust. Top with the meat mixture. Cover with vented microwave-safe plastic wrap. Cook on Medium for 3 to 5 minutes or until heated through, giving the dish 1/2 turn once. Sprinkle with Mozzarella cheese. Let stand for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Makes 6 servings.
