• Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).

Cook the Spaghetti:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
• Drain the cooked spaghetti and set it aside.

Make the Sauce:

• In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat.
• Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until they become fragrant and the onion turns translucent.
• Add the ground beef (or your choice of ground meat) and cook until it's browned and no longer pink. Break it up into small pieces as it cooks.
• Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Let the sauce simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.

Assemble the Dish:

• In a large baking dish, place half of the cooked spaghetti as the bottom layer.
• Pour half of the meat sauce over the spaghetti layer.
• Sprinkle half of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the sauce.
• Repeat the layers with the remaining spaghetti, meat sauce, and cheese.

Bake:

• Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes.
• Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Serve:

• Remove the baked spaghetti from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
• Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
• Serve hot and enjoy your delicious baked spaghetti!
