To make this baked pasta, I started by boiling some rigatoni noodles, draining them and then returning them to the empty cooking pot.
While the noodles were cooking, I browned some ground beef in a large frying pan.
Once the beef was fully cooked I added it to the pot with the noodles.
I also added some marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese to the pot.
Then I stirred all of the ingredients together really well.
I dumped the pasta into a greased 9 x 13 inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Then I sprinkled some shredded Mozzarella and Parmesan on top.
I baked the pasta until the cheese was fully melted and just starting to brown around the edges.
This cheesy rigatoni loaded with ground beef is a hearty meal perfect for cold weather.
