Easy Pasta Bake

1 box corkscrew noodles
1 pound hamburger meat
1 regular-size jar of spaghetti sauce
1 2-cup bag of shredded mozzarella cheese

Cook the hamburger meat in a skillet.
Boil and drain the noodles.
Mix meat, sauce, noodles and half of the cheese and put in a baking dish.
Sprinkle remaining cheese on top of mixture.
Bake at 350 until cheese is melted and sauce is warm.

John's sister-in-law, Laura, made this for their family gathering on Christmas Eve and everyone loved it. It is a versatile recipe in that you can use different types of noodles, add more cheese if you want and add seasonings or spices. If you need to make it for a large group, just double or triple the ingredients.
