Cook the fettuccine according to the package directions, until al dente.
Pour the cooked pasta into a colander and drain completely. Transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
Add the butter, stirring until it's completely melted & coating the pasta.
Stir in the ricotta until it's also evenly combined.
In a separate, smaller mixing bowl- whisk together the eggs until scrambled. Generously add salt & pepper to the egg mixture.
Slowly pour the scrambled eggs into the pasta mixture while stirring until all the eggs are added and completely incorporated.
Prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish by spraying generously with non stick cooking spray. Add the pasta mixture to the dish, and spread it out evenly. Season again with more salt & pepper, if desired.
Bake the macaroni pie at 425 degrees for 25 minutes. Let it rest 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving.
