Rigatoni Pie

Instructions

• Boil the rigatoni in salted boiling water until just underdone or al dente.
• Drain the pasta and place in a bowl with a little olive oil so the pasta doesn't stick together. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 400°F/200°C.
• In a pan, heat the olive oil and add the ground beef.
• Break up and stir the beef until brown.
• Add in the garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir until combined.
• Add in the crushed tomatoes and simmer until thickened, about 20 minutes.
• Sprinkle the prepared pasta with the parmesan cheese and mix.
• In a springform pan, place the rigatoni noodles standing up to fill the pan.
• Pour the sauce over the noodles and bake at 400°F/200°C for 15 minutes.
• Sprinkle the pie with the mozzarella cheese and bake for another 15 minutes at the same temperature.
• Slice and serve!
