Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente. Drain, lightly oil and set aside.

Repeat this 3 times starting with the noodles and finish with the remaining 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle with oregano. Preheat oven to 350 and bake 45 minutes until hot and bubbly.
