1/2 lb. Ground beef (I used turkey)
32 oz. Can crushed tomatoes
2 cloves garlic
1 Tablespoon Vegetable oil
2 teas italian herb seasoning
1/2 teas. salt
1/4 teas. sugar
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup Grated parmesan cheese

Cook pasta according to package in a large pot. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water. Put back in pot and set aside. In a 12" skillet, brown beef, then add minced garlic and cook until tender, but do not brown. Add tomatoes and simmer until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Stir in italian seasoning, sugar and salt. Add sauce to te pasta and toss, adding the reserved pasta water as needed to loosen sauce.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spread 1/2 of the pasta mixture into an oiled 9x13 baking pan. Sprinkle 1/2 of each type of cheese over the top. Spread rest of pasta mixture, then the rest of the cheese. Bake for 20 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
