Baked Mostaccioli

Heat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). \nSpray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent food from sticking. \nFill a large pot with water and add a moderate amount of salt to the water, bringing it to a boil. \nCook mostaccioli pasta in the boiling water for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until it reaches a tender yet still slightly firm texture. \nWhile the pasta is cooking, heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and cook ground beef until it's browned and crumbly, stirring frequently for 5-10 minutes. \nOnce the beef is cooked, remove it from the heat and drain off any excess grease. \nAdd spaghetti sauce to the pan with the beef and mix well, combining the flavors of the two ingredients. \nTransfer the beef mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly across the bottom layer. \nNext, add a layer of cooked pasta on top of the beef mixture and sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. \nCover the dish with aluminum foil to prevent the top layer from browning too quickly during baking. \nBake the dish in a preheated oven for 40 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking until the cheese is melted and lightly browned, adding an additional 10 minutes to the cooking time.
