Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound lean ground beef (season with salt and pepper)
  • 1/4 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • 1 jar (24 ounces) spaghetti sauce
  • 6 ounces chive and onion cream cheese, divided
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1/2 pound cooked Penne pasta (8 ounces)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large non-stick skillet, over medium-high heat, cook and crumble ground beef, onion and garlic together until beef is no longer pink. Drain any grease.
    Stir in spaghetti sauce, 4 ounces of the cream cheese, Italian seasoning and 1/2 cup of Mozzarella cheese.
  • Cook and stir mixture until cheese is melted; about 5 minutes. Gently stir in the cooked penne pasta to combine.
    Carefully pour mixture into a greased 8×8-inch baking dish. Dot the rest of the cream cheese evenly over the pasta. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of Mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
  • Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy! ♥
