Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and cook the stuffed pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

3. In a separate pan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Add them to the pan with the ground beef and cook until the onion is softened and translucent.

5. Pour in the can of diced tomatoes and add a pinch of dried Italian herbs. Stir everything together and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes.

6. In a large baking dish, spread a thin layer of the tomato and beef mixture on the bottom. Place a layer of cooked stuffed pasta on top, followed by another layer of the tomato and beef mixture. Repeat until all the ingredients are used up, ending with a layer of the tomato and beef mixture on top.

7. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the dish.

8. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

9. After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

10. Let the stuffed pasta bake cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious and easy stuffed pasta bake bolognese!
