1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (plus extra for topping)
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg

Instructions:
Prepare the Pasta: Cook the rigatoni in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and let cool slightly.
Cook the Meat Sauce: In a skillet, sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Add the ground beef or sausage and cook until browned. Stir in 1 cup of marinara sauce and simmer for 5 minutes.
Mix the Cheese Filling: In a large bowl, combine ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Stuff the Rigatoni: Using a piping bag or spoon, fill each pasta tube with the cheese mixture. Arrange the stuffed rigatoni in a greased baking dish.
