Preheat the oven to 375 F and grease a large baking dish.
Melt butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook onions until tender and golden.

Stir tomatoes into the pan, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes; then add mushrooms and olives and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Mix in 1/2 to 3/4 of the shredded cheese and the cooked spaghetti.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared dish; sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheese and the grated Parmesan cheese.
