Pepperoni may be added. Provolone cheese may be used for more oomph. In large pot of boiling salted water, cook spaghetti for 8-10 minutes, until tender but firm; drain and transfer to bowl. Toss with 1 tb of the oil; let cool. Toss with Parmesan and egg. Press over bottom and sides of greased 9-inch pie plate. Meanwhile, in skillet, heat remaining oil over medium heat; cook onion, garlic, mushrooms, basil and oregano, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add tomato sauce; cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until thickened. Sprinkle spaghetti mixture with 1/2 cup of the mozzarella; spoon sauce over top. Sprinkle with green pepper and remaining mozzarella. Bake in 375F 190C oven for 30 minutes or until spaghetti is golden brown. Let stand for 5 minutes.
