A New Take on Italian Fettuccine Pie

This is the next day, and it was still so good!

I think some of the best recipes happen when you add your own twist. 

This past week, I thought I had cottage cheese in my fridge. Well, I wasn't wrong; but boy was I wrong! It expired Christmas Day. So, being a Woman of hunger and desperation, I decided to substitute a half brick of Cream cheese and used Italian Sausage instead of Ground beef.  What a wonderful change!  We loved it.  I covered the whole top of the pie with sauce, 'cause we're not a fan of crispy pasta.  Still, keep the foil covering this when you bake it. 

YUM

Spread Cottage Cheese on the bottom of non stick sprayed pie plate.  Add Parmesan cheese and sprinkle with pepper.

In blender, add diced tomatoes, garlic and wine. Blend 'til smooth.

Cook Ground Sausage and place in bowl after draining.

Add Shredded mozzarella cheese. I grated my own, and it melts really nice.

Dash of parsley.

Place meat cheese and sauce in bigger bowl, and combine.

Now put that on top of your cottage cheese in your pie plate.

Mix Bisquick, Milk and eggs, and pour into the plate over top the meat and cheese.

Should look about like this.

 

Sprinkle with Parsley or oregano.  

1. Heat oven to 400ºF.
2. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 1 to 2 minutes longer or until melted. Cool 5 minutes. Serve with additional spaghetti sauce.
