*I used ground sirloin because it has less grease when it cooks which means no grease floating on the sauce.
**When I mentioned the 3/4 lb of pasta, this is before cooking it, the box will usually be for 1 lb total dry pasta.
***The secret that makes this cook fast is that its all hot (pasta, meat and sauce) when it goes into the oven, so there is no extended bake time.
****If you wanted to prepare this the day before do all the steps up to sprinkling with cheese (don't add cheese) and refrigerate. When ready preheat oven to 350 degrees F, bake for 55 minutes or until sauce is bubbling. Add cheese and broil additional 3-4 minutes to melt and blister the cheese. When done sprinkle with parsley and serve.
