Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick spray or olive oil.
Cook the gluten-free spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Use a spoon to break up the meat as it cooks.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Pour in the gluten-free marinara sauce into the skillet. Stir in the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and then stir in the grated Parmesan cheese.
Add the cooked gluten-free spaghetti to the egg and cheese mixture, tossing to coat the pasta evenly.
Spread half of the spaghetti mixture into the prepared baking dish. Layer half of the meat sauce over the spaghetti.
Sprinkle with half of the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Repeat the layers with the remaining spaghetti, sauce, and mozzarella cheese.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the baked spaghetti to rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!
