Boil the spaghetti according to package directions. Drain, then mix with butter, Parmesan, and beaten egg.
Form the Crust:
Press the spaghetti mixture into a greased 9-inch pie dish, pushing up the sides to form a crust. Set aside.
Prepare the Filling:
In a bowl, mix ricotta (or cottage cheese) with egg, salt, and pepper. Spread this over the spaghetti crust.
Make the Meat Sauce:
Brown the ground beef or sausage in a skillet. Drain excess fat.
Add marinara sauce and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 5 minutes, then spread over the cheese layer.
Add Cheese and Bake:
Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over the top.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25–30 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.
Cool and Serve:
Let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with parsley if desired.
