TikTok made me make this creamy Italian pasta dish. You should make it too.

By SARA VANDEN BERGE

I don’t know what I will do if this ban on TikTok sticks because I get a lot of delicious recipes from there.

This pasta dish is not only a cinch to make, it’s delicious. The cream cheese adds a rich texture to the sauce that we absolutely loved.

If you need a break from holiday cooking, try this.

I made it for dinner last night and it was a hit.

This recipe makes a big batch, so The Husband will be having leftovers this weekend.

WHAT YOU NEED

½ white onion, diced

1-lb lean ground beef or turkey

16-oz rigatoni of penne pasta

Jar of Rao’s marinara sauce

8-oz cream cheese

Shredded Italian cheese

HOW TO MAKE IT

Brown onion and ground beef in large pan.

As it’s cooking, boil water for pasta and cook according to directions.

After the meat is thoroughly cooked, add marinara and heat to a light boil; add cream cheese and stir until melted.

Add cooked pasta to pan, mix thoroughly and top with cheese.

Place pan in oven (I broiled to get a nice brown top) until cheese is melted.

Serve with a Caesar salad and slice of garlic bread!

Delish!
