- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Boil a large pot of salted water. Add dry pasta and cook for 9 to 11 minutes until mostly cooked through. Drain and set aside.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add ground beef and season with oregano, sea salt, black pepper, chili powder, and ground cumin. Cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add butter, chopped onion, minced garlic, and tomato puree to the skillet. Stir to combine.
- Add the cooked pasta to the beef mixture and stir. Then add heavy cream, chicken stock, parsley, basil, 1 1/2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, and 1 cup cheddar cheese. Stir until combined.
- Transfer to a 9x13-inch casserole dish and top with the remaining cheese.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese is browned and bubbly.
- Let sit for 10 minutes before serving for a firmer casserole, or serve immediately for a looser consistency.
