Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish.
Cook the penne pasta according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat, then add minced garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, and basil, followed by marinara sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Stir in the cooked pasta and transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
Top with shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
Melt butter in a pan, add the bread slices, sauté until golden, then pulse in a food processor to form breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the cheese layer.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Serve hot and enjoy!
