Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and grease a 9×13″ baking dish with cooking spray.
Cook pasta 1 minute less than directions state (you want it to be al dente). Drain and set pasta aside.
Add 1 jar marinara sauce (and oregano and red pepper flakes, if using) to a dutch oven and heat over medium low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and add in pasta, stirring to break up any clumps of pasta. If desired, add more marinara then set aside.
Mix together ricotta with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt & pepper.
Pour half the pasta into the prepared baking sheet. Top with ricotta mixture and 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella and parmesan.
Pour remaining pasta over ricotta and cheese then top with remaining cheese.
Bake for ~25 minutes or until cheese is lightly browned & bubbling.
Sprinkle with freshly chopped basil before serving.
