Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Cook the ziti pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a large pot, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.

Add marinara sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir to combine and simmer for 5 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, ricotta cheese, and half of the mozzarella cheese.

Add the meat sauce to the pasta mixture and stir until well combined.

Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.

Let the baked ziti cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
