Vegan Baked Mostaccioli

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Cook the mostaccioli pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, sauté until softened.

Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.

Stir in marinara sauce, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine the cooked mostaccioli with the meat sauce mixture. Mix well.

Transfer half of the pasta mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with half of the mozzarella cheese.

Layer the remaining pasta mixture on top and finish with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
