Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
– 12 oz Ronzoni Smart Taste Pasta (I used the penne noodles)
– 1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
– 1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
– 1 cup reduced fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
– 2 tsp olive oil
– 4 medium garlic cloves, minced
– 1/4 cup yellow onions, finely chopped
– 1/2 lb extra lean ground beef (96/4)
– 1 tsp oregano
– 1 tsp fresh basil, finely chopped
– 1 tsp thyme
– 1 tsp rosemary
– salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and set aside. Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat; add onions and garlic and sauté 2 minutes. Add beef and cook until browned, breaking up meat with a spoon as it cooks, about 3 to 5 minutes; drain off any fat and set pan back over medium heat. Add the oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper. Cook about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and mushrooms and bring mixture to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Spoon a small amount of beef-tomato mixture into bottom of a 4-quart casserole dish (just enough to cover surface); top with half of cooked pasta. Next, layer with half of remaining beef-tomato sauce and half of mozzarella cheese. Layer with remaining pasta and then top with remaining beef-tomato sauce; sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake until cheese is golden and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Cut into 6 pieces.
