– 3 cups cooked pasta (e.g., penne or macaroni)
– 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. **Preheat the oven** to 375°F (190°C).

2. **Cook the Ground Beef**:
– In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
– Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook until the onion is soft and translucent.

3. **Prepare the Sauce**:
– Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine.
– Simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

4. **Combine with Pasta**:
– In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the meat sauce. Mix well.

5. **Assemble the Casserole**:
– In a greased 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking dish, spread half of the pasta mixture.
– Sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese over the pasta.
– Add the remaining pasta mixture on top.
– Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.

6. **Bake**:
– Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
– Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the casserole is heated through.

7. **Serve**:
– Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving.
– Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
