1 cup ricotta cheese

2 cups marinara sauce

1 lb ground beef or Italian sausage

2 cloves garlic, minced

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a pie dish.

Step 2: Cook the spaghetti until al dente and drain.

Step 3: Toss the warm spaghetti with eggs, parmesan, and butter, then press into the dish to form a crust.

Step 6: Pour the meat sauce over the ricotta layer and top with mozzarella.

Step 8: Let cool 10 minutes, garnish with basil, slice, and serve.
