- 12 ounces mostaccioli pasta
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 3 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1 large onion diced
- 28 ounces marinara sauce
- 14 ounces tomatoes diced
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
- ½ cup water
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x13 pan.
Cook the pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Take care to not overcook it.
Brown the ground beef, garlic, and onion in a large saucepan until no pink remains. Drain any fat.
Stir in the marinara sauce, diced tomatoes, sugar, Italian seasoning, and water. Simmer for 5 minutes. Next, stir in the heavy cream and simmer for an additional 5 minutes or until thickened.
Spread 1 cup of the prepared sauce in the bottom of the greased pan. Add half of the cooked pasta and top with half of the remaining sauce.
Add the remaining pasta and the rest of the sauce, and then top with all of the shredded cheese.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
