### Instructions:

1. **Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).** Grease a 9-inch pie dish or springform pan.

2. **Prepare the “crust”:**
In a large bowl, toss the cooked spaghetti with the eggs, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Press this mixture evenly into the pie dish, forming a “nest” or crust up the sides.

3. **Make the filling:**
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef or sausage (if using) with garlic, salt, and pepper until browned. Drain any excess fat. Stir in the marinara sauce and simmer for 5 minutes.

4. **Assemble the pie:**
Spread the ricotta cheese evenly over the spaghetti crust. Top with the meat sauce mixture. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the top.

5. **Bake:**
Place the pie in the oven and bake uncovered for about 25–30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

6. **Cool & serve:**
Let the pie rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley for color and extra flavor.

## Tips & Variations:

* **Vegetarian version:** Skip the meat and add sautéed mushrooms, zucchini, spinach, or eggplant.
* **Cheese lovers:** Mix in provolone, asiago, or fontina for a deeper cheese pull.
* **Meal prep magic:** This pie freezes beautifully. Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven for best results.
