- ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 5 cups pasta sauce (approximately two jars)
- 1 pound Rigatoni pasta (plus ½ cup pasta water )
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Steps
-
Preheat oven to 350℉. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

In a large saucepan brown ground beef and onion over medium heat, breaking up the beef as it cooks. Drain any fat.

Add Italian seasoning, garlic, salt and pepper and cook 1 minute.
-
Add the pasta sauce and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Set aside.

Meanwhile, add rigatoni to the boiling water, and cook just to al dente according to the package directions (it will continue to cook in the oven).
-
Reserve ½ cup pasta water and drain. Stir pasta water into meat sauce.
-
Combine pasta and pasta sauce in a saucepan. Lightly grease a 3-quart baking dish, and transfer the pasta mixture.

Cover with a lightly greased piece of foil and bake at 350°F for 15 minutes or until heated through.

Uncover and sprinkle with cheese. Bake an additional 10 minutes, until cheese has started to brown.
