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.
