Cook the pasta according to the package directions to firm. Drain, rinse under hot water and set aside.
Place the ground beef in a large deep skillet or saucepan and add the onion and bell pepper, if using. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until the onion is softened and the ground beef is no longer pink and is fully browned. Add the garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes longer, until lightly browned.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, the tomato sauce, the tomato paste or ketchup, the sugar, Worchestershire sauce and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce mixture begins to boil. Taste and add salt or more sugar as needed. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Add the drained macaroni to the sauce, mix well, and heat through.
Quickly transfer half to a 4 quart casserole dish, sprinkle one cup of mozza cheese over the top. Spoon remaining half over top, then sprinkle the remainder of the cheese on top.
Bake in a 375 °F oven for 5-10 minutes until the cheese on top has melted.
