Method
 

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a medium baking dish. Cook spaghetti according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef and garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add ground beef, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, and cook until no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Drain fat.
  3. Add crushed tomatoes and basil and simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes. Season with more salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Toss with spaghetti, then transfer to baking dish and top with mozzarella and Parmesan. Bake until cheese is melted and pasta is warmed through, about 20 minutes.
