COOK MEAT:
Cook ground beef in a large skillet until completely browned. Drain off the fat, and then stir in onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and pasta sauce.
MIX TOGETHER SPAGHETTI LAYER:
In a large heat-proof bowl, whisk together melted butter, eggs, and Parmesan cheese.
Once the spaghetti is done cooking, drain, and add spaghetti to the butter and egg mixture. Toss spaghetti until evenly coated.
