Steps

Heat the oven to 375 F and butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.

Cook the sausage, beef, onion, and garlic in a large skillet for 12 minutes, until the meat reaches 160 F.
Stir in the marinara, crushed tomatoes, salt, and Italian seasoning, then simmer the sauce for 8 minutes.
Combine the pasta and sauce in the baking dish, then cover the top with mozzarella.
Bake for 30 minutes and let the rigatoni rest for 10 minutes before cutting.
