Easy Pasta Skillet

This is like baked pasta, but you do it on the stovetop instead of in the oven. Easier and quicker! But, just as good.

1 lb. ground beef (I often only use 1/2 lb and don't really notice a difference)
2 1/2 C Water
3 C mostaccioli or penne pasta
1 Jar (28 oz.) spaghetti sauce
1 package shredded Italian cheese

Brown ground beef with salt and pepper, drain and then add water. Bring to a boil, add pasta, reduce heat and cover. Simmer 15 min. Add sauce stir thoroughly. Heat back to "boil", then add 1 cup cheese and stir. Top with remaining cheese, cover to melt cheese. Serves 6.
