Preheat the oven to about 220°C / 425°F. Grease a large, deep baking dish with olive oil. Cook the pasta in boiling water according to its package instructions, then drain.
Mix the ricotta, egg, half the mozzarella, half the Parmesan, herbs, salt, pepper and optional chili flakes. Fold in the drained pasta and marinara sauce.
Transfer to the dish, leaving room below the rim to prevent overflow. Sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan, then the breadcrumbs.
Bake for about 20 minutes, until golden and bubbling throughout. Check that the egg-containing center reaches at least 71°C; if using previously refrigerated cooked pasta, heat the center to 74°C. Cover if needed to avoid over-browning before the center is hot.
Let stand briefly before serving. Refrigerate leftovers promptly in shallow containers within 2 hours and reheat to 74°C.
