From my friend Beth - she says the kids love it!

• 6 oz spaghetti noodles
• 2 eggs, beaten
• ¼ c grated parmesan cheese
• 2 T butter
• 1/2 c. chopped onion
• 1 c sour cream

1. Break spaghetti in half. Cook till done. Drain.
2. While still warm, combine spaghetti with eggs and parmesan cheese.
3. Pour into well greased 10” pie plate and pat mixture up and around sides with spoon.
4. Melt butter, add onion and sauté until limp.
5. Stir in sour cream and spoon over spaghetti.
6. Remove sausage from casing, crumble and cook. (I like to throw in some Italian seasoning too.)
7. Drain, add tomato paste and water.
8. Simmer 10 minutes.
9. Spoon sausage mixture over sour cream mixture.
10. Bake 350 F for 25 minutes.
