Black Pepper – 1/2 tsp 14. Sliced Mushrooms – 1 cup 15. Shredded Mozzarella Cheese – 2 cups 16. Shredded Cheddar Cheese – 1 cup 17. Grated Parmesan Cheese – 1/2 cup 18. Heavy Cream – 1/2 cup 19. Fresh Parsley – 2 tbsp, chopped 20. Red Pepper Flakes – 1/4 tsp Recipe 1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray. 2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook for 2 minutes less than the package instructions so it remains slightly firm after baking. Drain and set aside. 3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon until browned and fully cooked. 4. Add the diced onion and sliced mushrooms. Cook for 4–5 minutes until the onions soften and the mushrooms release their moisture. 5. Stir in the minced garlic and tomato paste. Cook for approximately 1 minute until fragrant and evenly combined with the beef. 6. Season the mixture with Italian seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir thoroughly to distribute the seasonings. 7. Pour in the marinara sauce and beef broth. Reduce the heat and simmer for 8–10 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend and the meat sauce to thicken. 8. Stir the heavy cream into the sauce until smooth and creamy. Simmer gently for another 2 minutes, then remove the skillet from the heat. 9. Add the cooked penne pasta to the meat sauce and toss until every piece is generously coated. Stir in 1 cup mozzarella, 1/2 cup cheddar, and the Parmesan cheese. 10. Transfer the pasta mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it evenly, making sure the ground beef and pasta are distributed throughout. 11. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and cheddar cheese generously over the entire surface to create a thick, cheesy topping. 12. Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 10–15 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbling, and lightly golden. 13. For an extra golden finish, broil for 1–2 minutes while watching carefully to prevent the cheese from burning. 14. Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to rest for 5–10 minutes so the sauce settles and the pasta holds together when served. 15. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm. Enjoy this hearty ground beef pasta bake with garlic bread or a fresh green salad. Follow for more cheesy comfort food recipes and delicious family dinner ideas!
