Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook 1 pound spaghetti according to the package directions until al dente.
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound ground beef, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat with a large spoon or spatula, until browned, about 5 minutes.
Add the diced 1 medium white onion to the skillet. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until the onion is soft and translucent.
Stir in 5 teaspoons minced garlic and 1 (6 ounce can) tomato paste and cook for an additional 2 minutes, until fragrant. Pour in 1 (28 ounce can) crushed tomatoes and 1 (15 ounce can) tomato sauce. Stir in 1 tablespoon dried basil and 1 tablespoon dried oregano and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until pasta is ready.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the meat sauce and stir until the pasta is evenly coated. Pour the spaghetti mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Top with 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese and 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

You can substitute 48 ounces of jarred pasta sauce instead of crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and tomato paste. Depending on the sauce, you may omit the dried basil and oregano.
