Classic Recipe made Easier

I love stuffed shells but hate making them because they are so time consuming so when I found this recipe I was very excited.  It took away the time but still left you with a great supper.  I hope you enjoy.

Unstuffed Shells
4 cups medium shell pasta, uncooked
1 lb ground beef
1 jar (24oz) marinara sauce
1 tub (10oz) Philly Original Cooking Creme
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup grated parmesean
1 1/2 cup Kraft shredded Mozzarella cheese with a touch of Philadelphia

1.  Cook pasta according to directions on the box.  Meanwhile, brown the beef; drain.  Add the marinara sauce; simmer for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.  Remove from heat.
2.  Drain the pasta.  Mix cooking creme, basil, and parmesan in a large bowl; stir in the pasta.  Spread half the meat sauce in bottom of greased 9x13 baking dish; cover with pasta mixture and remaining meat sauce.  Sprinkle with mozzarella; cover with foil.
3. Preheat oven to 375.  Bake casserole coverd for 40-45 minutes or until heated through, uncovering after 30 mimutes.

I served it with a fresh garden salad and garlic bread.  It made for a great supper have a nervous Packer win.  Hope everyone has a great start to their week.  See you tomorrow.
