Ingredients

• 12 oz spaghetti
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup parmesan cheese
• 1.5 cups ricotta cheese
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 lb ground beef or Italian sausage
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 28 oz crushed tomatoes
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.25 cup fresh basil (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the ground beef or Italian sausage to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

Step 5

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Simmer on low heat for 10 minutes to develop the flavors. Remove from heat.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the cooked spaghetti and Parmesan cheese, tossing to combine. This will form the 'crust' of the pie.

Step 7

Grease a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray or butter. Press the spaghetti mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the dish to create a crust.

Step 8

Spread the ricotta cheese evenly over the spaghetti crust.

Step 9

Pour the meat sauce over the ricotta layer, spreading evenly.

Step 10

Top the pie with shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 13

Garnish with fresh basil, if desired, and serve warm.
