Pour the meat sauce into a glass baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
Stand the rigatoni pasta vertically in the dish, pressing them gently into the meat sauce until the dish is completely filled.
Pour the white sauce evenly over the upright pasta, ensuring it flows into the tubes.
Cover the top with slices of cheese, completely covering the pasta and sauce.
Bake in an air fryer oven or conventional oven at 180°C (350°F) until the cheese is deeply golden brown, bubbly, and the pasta is cooked through.
Remove from the oven, slice into portions, and serve hot.
Cook it hands-free.
