Baked Rigatoni with Beef (from Cooking Light)

This is one of my favorite pasta dishes to make. It's very easy, and pretty quick to put together.

4 Cups pasta sauce (I use Prego Traditional, but use whatever you like)
1 pound ground round
4 cups cooked rigatoni (about 2 1/2 cups uncooked pasta)
1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
1/4 cup (1 ounce) grated fresh parmesan cheese

Preheat over to 350. Cook beef in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until browned; stir to crumble. Drain well. Combine beef, rigatoni, pasta sauce, and 1 cup mozzarella in an 11 x 7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Top with 1/2 cup mozzarella and parmesan. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Yield: 8 servings (serving size 1 cup)
