Notes About Recipe
-
Use any pasta shape you like (penne, fusilli, shells all work well).
-
Low-fat cream cheese keeps it creamy without being too heavy.
-
Keep covered for most of the bake to prevent drying out.
-
Remove foil at the end to melt and lightly brown the cheese.
-
Let sit 5 minutes before serving to thicken the sauce.
-
Stores well in the fridge for 2–3 days; great for leftovers.
