In a skillet, cook the beef with onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; add in garlic and chili flakes, continue cooking until meat is browned (about 10 more minutes).

Stir in the diced tomatoes with their juice, tomato paste, oregano, seasoned salt and pepper; bring to a simmer stirring constantly, reduce heat to low and simmer for about 20 minutes.

Step 4

Spread the cottage cheese over the spaghetti, then top with the ground beef/tomato mixture.
