INSTRUCTIONS

list of 6 items

1. Cook the Pasta

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the macaroni, according to package instructions, until al dente. Drain, and set aside.

2. Cook the Ground Meat

While the pasta cooks, heat a large skillet over medium heat, and add the ground beef or turkey. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until brown and fully cooked. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking for 2 to 3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

3. Prepare sauce

Stir in the marinara sauce, dried basil, oregano, salt and pepper. Bring the sauce to a simmer, and let it cook for 5 to 7 minutes to allow the flavors to combine. Adjust seasoning, as needed.

4. Assemble the Casserole

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the meat sauce. Add 1 cup mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Stir until well-combined, ensuring the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce and cheese.

5. Bake the Casserole

Transfer the pasta mixture to a greased 9 x 13 baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the top. Cover with aluminum foil, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the casserole is bubbling, and the cheese is melted.

6. Serve

Once the casserole is baked, remove it from the oven, and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
