Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Add Onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add Garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
Stir in Crushed tomatoes, Tomato sauce, Oregano, Basil, Red pepper flakes, Olive oil, Salt, and Black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While the sauce simmers, cook Spaghetti according to package directions. Drain well.
In a medium bowl, combine Ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and Egg. Mix well.
In a large baking dish, spread a thin layer of Meat Sauce. Top with half of the cooked Spaghetti.
Spread the Ricotta mixture over the Spaghetti. Top with the remaining Spaghetti and the remaining Meat Sauce.
