Ingredients

• 12 ounces spaghetti
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 2.5 cups marinara sauce
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 large garlic cloves, minced
• 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter and set aside.

Step 2

Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and Parmesan cheese. Add the cooled spaghetti and toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Press the spaghetti mixture evenly into the prepared pie dish, forming a crust-like base. Set aside.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 6-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

Step 7

Stir in the marinara sauce, salt, black pepper, basil, and oregano. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 8

Spread the ricotta cheese evenly over the spaghetti crust. Spoon the meat sauce on top of the ricotta layer, spreading it out evenly.

Step 9

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the meat sauce.

Step 10

Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

Step 11

Allow the spaghetti pie to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges. Serve warm and enjoy!
