Flavor-Packed Overnight Pasta Casserole

  1. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Add the diced onion and cook until softened (about 3 minutes).
  3. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Drain any excess grease.
  5. Add the marinara sauce, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes to let the flavors blend.

Step 2: Cook the Pasta

  1. While the beef mixture simmers, cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until just al dente (it will continue cooking in the oven).
  2. Drain and set aside.

Step 3: Assemble the Casserole

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta and the beef sauce.
  2. Add the ricotta or cottage cheese and half of the shredded mozzarella. Stir to combine.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  4. Top with the remaining mozzarella and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Step 4: Let It Rest Overnight

  1. Cover the casserole with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. This allows the flavors to deepen and meld together.

Step 5: Bake and Serve

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Remove the casserole from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
  3. Bake, covered with foil, for 25 minutes.
  4. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the top is bubbly and golden.
  5. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
