Best Baked Spaghetti

I have been on a mission for the last 7 years to find a baked spaghetti that my husband likes! It is one of my favorite meals, but for some reason he just thinks it is "okay". Yes, He is very weird!
I think I got him with this recipe though, I used Penne (his favorite), and he even had seconds!
You need:
  • 2 Cups cooked Penne pasta
  • 2 Tbsp Butter
  • 1/2 Cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 Carton Ricotta cheese
  • 1 lb Ground beef
  • 1 Jar Spaghetti sauce
  • 1 1/2 Cups Mozzarella cheese
  • Garlic and onions (Optional)
Cook Penne, set aside. Cook ground beef with a little garlic and onions. Mix in spaghetti sauce with ground beef, season to your preference. 

Mix 1/3 of the Parmesan cheese and the butter with the drained noodles

Line a 8x8 pan with foil. Pour a small layer of spaghetti sauce in bottom of pan.
Pour in noodles. Put dolops of ricotta over noodles. Cover with 1/3 of the Parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup of the Mozzarella cheese.

Pour spaghetti sauce on top. Cover with the rest of the mozzarella cheese. Put the last of the Parmesan cheese on top. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes, then remove foil and bake for 15 more minutes, or until the cheese is brown and bubbly. Enjoy!
