Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook Macaroni:
Cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Brown Beef:
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
Add Aromatics:
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onion becomes translucent.
Make the Sauce:
Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Combine Macaroni and Beef:
Mix the cooked macaroni into the skillet with the beef and sauce, ensuring everything is well combined.
Assemble and Bake:
Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
