Friendship Spaghetti Pie

Ingredients
1 pound spaghetti
1 pound Italian sausage
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 small onion, diced
1 32 ounces marinara sauce
4 large eggs, beaten
1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1 1/2 cups ricotta
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon basil
2 cups mozzarella cheese, grated
Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions
In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook spaghetti according to package directions. Drain and stir in butter. Set aside.

Brown Italian sausage and onion over medium-high heat until cooked through. Drain fat.

Add marinara sauce and remove from heat.

Stir beaten eggs and parmesan cheese into drained spaghetti. Season with salt. Divide spaghetti mixture evenly between two pie pans.

Combine ricotta, garlic, and dried basil, along with a pinch of salt. Spread the ricotta  mixture over the spaghetti in the pie pans. Top each pie pan with half of the meat sauce, followed by half of the mozzarella.

Preheat oven to 350. Bake until bubbly and cheese has melted, about 25 minutes.
