Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375F and spray a 9×13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray; set aside.
- Cook pasta according to package directions and drain.
- While the pasta is cooking, to a large Dutch oven, optionally add the olive oil (my beef was very lean and the oil was necessary), beef, onion, red pepper, and cook over medium-high heat until beef is cooked through and vegetables have softened; stir frequently and crumble the beef while it cooks; do not drain.
- Add the garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and stir to combine. Cook for about 1 minute, or until garlic is fragrant.
- Add the cooked pasta to the beef mixture, add the marinara, and stir to combine and coat evenly.
- Add 1 1/2 cups cheese and stir to combine until the cheese has melted.
- Turn mixture out into the prepared baking dish and evenly sprinkle the remaining 1 1/2 cups cheese over the top.
- Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese has melted on top.
- Optionally garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Note: This recipe uses a lot of sauce, but the pasta absorbs a lot of it when it bakes. We don't want dry pasta.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Combine the Ricotta, Parmesan, egg, and 1 cup (not all) mozzarella cheese and set aside.
- Begin boiling the pasta water while you cook the meat for the sauce. Cook the pasta for 2 minutes less than al dente, then drain. (Be sure to time it exactly so that you don't end up with mushy pasta.)
- Cook and crumble the ground beef and diced onions over medium-high heat. Drain grease. Add garlic, red pepper flakes, salt/pepper, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Cook for 1 minute.
- Add the marinara sauce. Stir to combine and heat through. Remove from heat.
- Combine the drained pasta with about ¾ of the sauce mixture and transfer it to a lightly greased 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Add dollops of the ricotta mixture over the top, then the rest of the meat sauce.
- Cover and bake for 20 minutes. Remove and top with remaining 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese. Increase oven temp to 400 and bake uncovered for 10-15 more minutes, until the top begins to bubble and brown.
- Garnish with parsley and serve with garlic bread with cheese.

MARINARA-SAUSAGE PASTA BAKE
Turn your pasta into a hearty dump-and-serve casserole. Simply combine uncooked rigatoni, loose Italian sausage and ricotta in a baking dish, cover with marinara sauce and bake. For the final step, top it with a generous amount of mozzarella and pop it back in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Generously grease the bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish with the butter.
- Stir together the marinara, beef broth, tomato paste, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl.
- Spread half the pasta in an even layer in the bottom of the prepared dish. Break the sausage into pieces and scatter half on the pasta. Dollop with half of the ricotta. Pour half of the marinara mixture over the top. Repeat with a second layer of pasta, sausage, ricotta and the marinara mixture.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake until the pasta is al dente, about 50 minutes.
- Uncover and sprinkle the mozzarella on top. Bake uncovered until the mozzarella is melted and bubbly, about 10 minutes.
PASTA BAKE WITH GROUND BEEF AND MARINARA SAUCE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Boil the pasta according to the package directions to al dente (firm to the bite).
- In a deep pan heat up the oil to medium high. Then add the chopped onion and cook until slightly soft and translucent. Next add the ground meat and break it to small chucks. Stir and cook until the meat is no longer pink. Then add the shredded carrot, chopped garlic, salt and pepper and the dry oregano to the pan. Cook for 2 minutes while stirring.
- Finally add the marinara, the drained pasta and half of the chopped fresh basil.
- Then stir and transfer it to oven safe dish (I used a dish that was 13 x 5 inches). Top it with the shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Allow the pasta to cool down slightly before serving.
BAKED PENNE WITH GROUND BEEF AND TOMATO SAUCE
Of course you can use your favorite bottled pasta sauce of your choice to make this recipe, but it is really the sauce that makes this (do not omit the green bell pepper, I also add in a jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped but that is optional) To save some time and to allow the flavors to blend I strongly suggest to prepare the sauce 1-2 days in advance and refrigerate, this sauce freezes well for up to 3 months. Do not over cook the pasta as it will cook even more in the oven...you will *LOVE* this!

- To the skillet add in about 5 cups prepared tomato sauce (more is okay, or just go ahead and use the whole amount of sauce if desired more sauce will never hurt lol!) cook for about 15-20 minutes on medium-low heat.
- Remove from heat and add in 1-1/2 cups mozzarella cheese; stir with wooden spoon to combine.
- Add in the cooked penne pasta; toss to combine with sauce and cheese.
