Preparation Steps

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent.
• Add the ground beef, salt, pepper, oregano, and basil to the skillet. Cook until the meat is browned.
• Stir in the marinara sauce and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
• In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, meat sauce, ricotta, 1 cup of mozzarella, and half of the Parmesan.
• Spoon the pasta mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Remove from oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
