Garnish with fresh basil for a touch of elegance, and savor every bite of this cheesy, saucy creation!
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the ground beef or Italian sausage to the skillet. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into small pieces with a spatula. Drain any excess fat.
Stir the marinara sauce into the skillet with the cooked meat. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Simmer on low heat for 5 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or oven-safe deep-dish pan.
Spread the cooked spaghetti evenly across the bottom of the baking dish.
Pour the meat sauce over the spaghetti, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the sauce, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.
Top the dish with an even layer of pepperoni slices.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the pepperoni is slightly crisp.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
Slice into servings and enjoy your Pizza Getti!
