Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook spaghetti according to package directions.
  2. While spaghetti cooks, heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Stir in crushed tomatoes, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Drain spaghetti and add it to the tomato sauce. Stir to combine.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine ricotta cheese and half of the mozzarella cheese.
  6. Pour spaghetti mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the top.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden brown.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, omit the ricotta cheese. You can also add other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms to the sauce. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
