Instructions:

1. Cook the Meat: Start by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook it, breaking it up with a spatula, until it’s fully browned. Drain any excess fat if necessary. Once browned, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent.

2. Add the Tomatoes and Sauce: Next, stir in the diced tomatoes (with juices) and tomato sauce. Season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken.

3. Combine the Meat Mixture and Pasta: Once the sauce is ready, add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce. Let everything heat through for a few more minutes.

4. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the pasta mixture and cover the skillet. Let it cook for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

5. Garnish and Serve: Once the cheese has melted, remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired, and serve hot. It’s that easy!
