Baked Pasta

1 pkg (16 oz) dry pasta
1 lb lean ground beef
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cans (15 oz) tomato sauce
12 oz brown gravy
1/2 cup half-and-half
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded

In a Dutch oven or large frying pan, cook and stir ground beef until brown. Add garlic, tomato sauce, gravy, cream, Parmesan cheese, oregano and basil. Simmer for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling water until al dente. Drain.

Combine the cooked pasta (we prefer ziti) and the sauce, and spread into a greased 9 x 13 baking dish. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.

Bake at 350d for 20 - 30 minutes, until bubbly.
