Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain excess grease.
Add minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the tomato sauce and diced tomatoes. Let it simmer for 5 minutes to combine the flavors.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the cooked pasta and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the top with the remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
