Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Spread the raw pasta in a single layer in a 9×13-inch baking pan.

Using gloved hands, break apart the meat into small clumps (the smaller, the better) and layer it on top of the pasta.

Add the pasta sauce, water, tomato jam, mushrooms, and spices and lightly swirl with a fork to combine with the beef layer.

Cover the pan tightly with foil. Bake for one and a half hours. Remove from the oven and stir with a large serving spoon until fully combined. Sprinkle with fresh herbs, divide into plates, and serve. Buon appetito!
