In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef with the diced onion. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Once the beef is cooked through, add two jars of marinara sauce to the skillet. Stir to combine and let it simmer.
Grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish.
Add half of your cooked pasta to the bottom of the casserole dish.
Pour half of the meat sauce over the pasta and stir to combine.
Dollop the ricotta cheese evenly over the pasta and sauce mixture.
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the ricotta.
Add the remaining cooked pasta on top.
Top with the rest of the meat sauce, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for about 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
