Preparation:
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.
