Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef, onions, and peppers in the hot skillet until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in spaghetti sauce, 3/4 cup cooking creme, and 1/2 cup mozzarella: cook and stir until mozzarella is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in cooked pasta until evenly coated.
Step 4
Spoon pasta mixture into a 2-quart casserole dish. Top with remaining cooking creme and mozzarella. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until heated through, about 5 more minutes.
