This recipe was given to me by Zig's mom, Roseann... many, many moons ago

 

                     6 oz.     spaghetti

                      2     eggs beaten

              ¼ cup     grated parmesan cheese

                 2 Tb     butter

              ¹/₃ cup     chopped onion

                   1-2     cloves of minced garlic

                1 cup     sour cream

            1 pound     Italian sausage

                1 can     tomato paste (6oz.)

                1 cup     water

                4 oz.     Mozzarella cheese, sliced

 

Break spaghetti in half.  Cook in boiling water until done.  Drain.  While still warm, combine spaghetti with eggs and parmesan cheese.  Pour into a well greased 10” pie plate and pat mixture up and around sides with a spoon.

Melt butter; add onions and garlic and sauté until limp.  Stir in sour cream and then spoon mixture over spaghetti.

Remove sausage from casing, crumble and cook in skillet until done.  Drain grease.  Add tomato paste and water.  Simmer 10 minutes.  Spoon sausage over sour cream mixture. 

Bake at 350◦ for 25 minutes.  Arrange mozzarella on top and return to the oven until cheese melts.

Serves 6

Note: freezes well before baking so make two at a time.
