Preheat broiler to high and spray a 9×13-inch baking or casserole dish with cooking spray; set aside.
To a stockpot, cook the pasta according to the manufacturer’s directions; drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, to a Dutch oven or other large pot, add the olive oil, onion, and cook over medium-high heat for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until the onion begins to soften; stir occasionally.
Add the beef, evenly sprinkle with the oregano, salt, pepper, and crumble beef as it cooks to encourage even cooking; stir frequently.
After the beef is cooked through, add the pizza sauce, cooked pasta, and stir very well to combine.
Transfer mixture to the prepared casserole dish, evenly top with the cheese, pepperoni, and broil for about 3 minutes, or until cheese has melted or is as browned as desired. Watch it very closely because cheese can burn extremely quickly under the broiler, sometimes in a matter of 15 seconds.
Optionally garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
