1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

   While that warms up, take a moment to grease a 10-inch pie plate with a tablespoon of softened butter, ensuring it’s ready for your delicious creation.

3. Step 3

   Next, grab a large pot and fill it with lightly salted water, bringing it to a rolling boil.

4. Step 4

   Once it’s bubbling, toss in the spaghetti and cook it for about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally until it’s tender yet still has a delightful bite.

5. Step 5

   After draining the spaghetti, return it to the pot and mix in the grated Parmesan cheese, beaten eggs, and two tablespoons of butter while it’s still hot.

6. Step 6

   This will create a rich, cheesy base.

7. Step 7

   Now, gently press this spaghetti mixture into the bottom and up the sides of your prepared pie plate, forming a lovely crust that will hold all the goodness to come.

8. Step 8

   In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef along with the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic.

   Stir it all together until the beef is browned and crumbly, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
