Easy Spaghetti Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb lean ground beef
    1 tablespoon minced garlic
    1 (16 ounce) pasta sauce with mushrooms (Prego is the perfect brand for this!)
    1 cup parmesan cheese (Kraft grated)
    3 eggs
    1 tablespoon italian seasoning
    1 (16 ounce) carton ricotta cheese
    1 (16 ounce) package thin spaghetti, cooked and drained
    2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
Preparation
    Brown ground beef and garlic in skillet. Drain well.
    Mix cooked and drained ground beef/garlic mixture with the Prego spaghetti sauce in a large skillet. Cook on medium/low until heated through.
    Beat eggs and add parmesan cheese in a large bowl.
    Add cooked and drained pasta (cooled slightly so as not to \"scramble\" the eggs) and toss well to coat.
    Spread pasta mixture on bottom and up sides of 2- 9\" glass deep dish pie plates. (Press it down firmly with a spoon to resemble the shape of a pie crust.).
    Sprinkle 1/2 tablespoons Italian Seasoning evenly on pasta mixture on each 9\" pie.
    Spread 1/2 Ricotta cheese evenly on EACH pie, over the pasta mixture.
    Top each pie with 1/2 the meat mixture.
    Sprinkle each pie with 1 cup mozzerella cheese. (I sprinkle a little bit more Parmesan cheese on top -- ).
    Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 minutes, until the cheese melts and is SLIGHTLY crispy on top.
    Let stand and cool for 5 minutes, and then cut into wedges.
    YUMMMMY!
