Step 2

10 servings

Step 3

In a large sauce pot, cook pasta about 2 minutes LESS than according to directions.

Step 4

While pasta is cooking, brown the meat, if needed, and make/heat the pasta sauce in a pot big enough to mix with the pasta. Once the sauce is boiling (and meat cooked) add the cream cheese and stir until mixed in. Turn the heat down and let the sauce simmer.

Step 5

Grate any of the cheeses, if needed.

Step 6

Drain the pasta and return it to the cooking pot. Add the sauce mixture and stir until evenly coated. Or visa versa - add the pasta to the sauce if it's in the larger pot. Your choice.

Step 7

Grease a 3-quart baking dish (13x9-inch) and spoon half of the pasta mixture onto the bottom. Sprinkle half of the grated mozzarella cheese and then top with remaining pasta. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella on the top, as well as the Parmesan.

Step 8

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes.
