Cook the Pasta

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Cook until the beef is browned and the onions are translucent.

Prepare the Meat Sauce

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

Add Tomatoes and Seasoning

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked penne pasta with the meat sauce, mixing well to ensure the pasta is evenly coated.

Combine Pasta and Sauce

Transfer half of the pasta mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with half of the mozzarella cheese. Add the remaining pasta mixture on top, followed by the rest of the mozzarella cheese and the grated Parmesan cheese.

Assemble the Dish

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Bake

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your baked penne with meat sauce and mozzarella!
