Ingredients
16 oz. dry rigatoni
½ Lb. ground beef
1 Cup mozzarella cheese
1 Jar Pasta Jay’s Classic Marinara
Directions
- Pre-heat your oven to 400°.
- Boil your box of dry rigatoni pasta as per box directions. Cook to al dente.
- Place ground beef in a medium-large non-stick pan, over a medium-high heat.Breaking up the ground beef into equal size pieces as it cooks. You’re looking for your meat to brown in color.
- Start with an oven safe baking dish (we used a 6 cup Pyrex glass dish), ladle in your pre-heated Pasta Jay’s Classic Marinara in the bottom of the baking dish; about a cup.
- In a mixing bowl, add your ground beef to your al dente pasta and mix together.Add to your oven safe baking dish. Ladle your Pasta Jay’s sauce to desired liking. Top with mozzarella.
- Bake at 400° for 20 minutes. You’re looking for bubbling cheese and browned edges. Garnish with parmigiana and parsley.
- Pasta Jay’s tip: Add a little extra marinara to the top before serving.

Notes
- Tip from Pasta Jay himself: Start by warming up your Pasta Jay’s Classic Marinara in a large pot. This ensures your Baked Rigatoni will cook a lot faster and more evenly.
