Ingredients

Scale

6 oz spaghetti noodles

1 lb ground beef

1 jar (24 oz) marinara or tomato pasta sauce

1 tsp Italian seasoning

½ tsp garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 large eggs

1 cup sour cream (or ricotta cheese)

1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Optional garnish: chopped parsley or basil

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or round baking pan.

Step 2: Cook the Spaghetti

Boil spaghetti in salted water until al dente. Drain and let cool slightly.

Step 3: Brown the Beef

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat. Add pasta sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5–7 minutes.

Step 4: Build the Base

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and Parmesan. Add cooked spaghetti and toss until evenly coated. Press the mixture into the greased pan to form a “crust.”

Step 5: Add the Layers

Spread sour cream (or ricotta) over the spaghetti crust. Pour the beef and tomato mixture on top. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella.

Step 6: Bake

Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes until bubbly and golden. Let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Serve with garlic bread and a crisp Caesar salad

Garnish with fresh herbs or red pepper flakes for extra flavor

Pair with a glass of Chianti or iced tea for a complete meal
