Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Combine the tomatoes, 2 tablespoons olive oil, the vinegar, garlic, basil sprig, oregano, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Let stand, tossing occasionally, until very juicy, 10 to 15 minutes.

BAKED PENNE WITH GROUND BEEF AND TOMATO SAUCE
Of course you can use your favorite bottled pasta sauce of your choice to make this recipe, but it is really the sauce that makes this (do not omit the green bell pepper, I also add in a jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped but that is optional) To save some time and to allow the flavors to blend I strongly suggest to prepare the sauce 1-2 days in advance and refrigerate, this sauce freezes well for up to 3 months. Do not over cook the pasta as it will cook even more in the oven...you will *LOVE* this!

- Grease a medium casserole dish (or a 13 x 9-inch baking dish).
- In a large skillet cook the ground beef until well browned, breaking up with a spoon until crumbled; drain fat.
- To the skillet add in about 5 cups prepared tomato sauce (more is okay, or just go ahead and use the whole amount of sauce if desired more sauce will never hurt lol!) cook for about 15-20 minutes on medium-low heat.
- Remove from heat and add in 1-1/2 cups mozzarella cheese; stir with wooden spoon to combine.
- Add in the cooked penne pasta; toss to combine with sauce and cheese.
- Transfer to baking dish.

- Remove from oven and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese then about 1/2 cup (or more) mozzarella cheese, return to oven and cook 5-8 minutes more or until the cheese is melted.
- Delicious!
Tips:
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: This will give your sauce the best flavor. If you can, use tomatoes that are in season.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the tomatoes, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Cook the sauce slowly: The longer you cook the sauce, the more flavor it will develop. Simmer it for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time.
- Season the sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a pinch of sugar to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
- Use high-quality pasta: The type of pasta you use will make a big difference in the final dish. Use a high-quality pasta that is made from durum wheat.
- Cook the pasta al dente: Cook the pasta according to the package directions, but don't overcook it. You want the pasta to be al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
- Add the sauce to the pasta: Once the pasta is cooked, add it to the sauce and stir to combine. You can also add some of the pasta cooking water to the sauce to help it adhere to the pasta.
- Garnish with fresh basil: Before serving, garnish the pasta with fresh basil. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
Penne with tomato sauce is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The key to a great penne with tomato sauce is to use fresh, flavorful ingredients and to cook the sauce slowly. With a little effort, you can make a delicious penne with tomato sauce that will rival anything you'd find in a restaurant.
