- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). It’s time to warm things up!
- Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain it and toss it with olive oil like you’re in a fancy Italian restaurant.
- In a large skillet, brown the ground meat over medium heat with the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until the meat is no longer pink and the onion is translucent. It’s like a meat and onion party!
- Add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, basil, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir like you mean it and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. This is where the magic happens!
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, ricotta cheese, and half of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. This creamy mixture is going to add a whole new level of delight.
- Combine the cooked spaghetti with the meat sauce and mix thoroughly. Then, fold in the cheesy egg mixture. Are you drooling yet?
- Transfer this glorious mix to a greased pie or casserole dish and spread evenly. Top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, because more cheese is a good thing!
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until it’s golden and bubbly. Your kitchen will smell so good that your neighbors might start knocking!
- Let it sit for a few minutes before serving. Cut into wedges, serve, and watch everyone’s faces light up!
