Preheat Oven

Cook Pasta

Boil water in a large pot, add salt, and cook penne pasta until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Prepare the Meat Sauce

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.

Add Tomato Sauce

Pour tomato sauce into the skillet with the meat. Stir well and simmer for 10 minutes.

Combine Pasta and Meat Sauce

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the meat sauce. Mix well to ensure the pasta is evenly coated.

Transfer the pasta and meat sauce mixture into a baking dish. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
