Preparation

Step 1

1. Cook the beef, basil, black pepper and garlic powder in a 10-inch
skillet over medium-high heat until well browned, stirring frequently
to break up meat. Pour off any fat.
2. Stir the sauce, soup, water and 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese into
the skillet. Stir in the pasta to coat with the sauce mixture. Spoon into
a 118-inch (2-quart) shallow baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining
cheese.
3. Bake at 400°F. for 25 minutes or until hot and bubbling.
