Pasta casserole

  •  8 oz spaghetti (or other pasta, gf)
  • 1 lb gr beef or turkey
  • onion and garlic to taste
  • 14 oz spaghetti sauce (add 1-2 t italian seasoning depending on the sauce)
  • up to 1/2 t salt depending on how much is in the sauce
  • 1/4 t pepper
  • 3 oz cream cheese
  • 1 c ricotta
  • 1/2 c sour cream (original said 1 c which seemed like too much)
  • 3 green onions, optional
  • 1.5 c italian style cheese
1. Cook the pasta. Meanwhile in a large skillet, cook the meat, onion, and garlic over medium heat until browned, 6-8 min. Drain if too much fat. Stir in spaghetti sauce, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10-20 minutes or until the rest of the ingredients are ready. 

2. Mix cream cheese, ricotta, and sour cream. Stir in green onions. To a 9x9 pan, layer pasta, then cream cheese mixture, then sauce. Top with shredded cheese. 

3. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes, until browned and bubbly. If desired, top with additional onions.
