D ~ Week 25 ~ Make Ahead Unstuffed Shells

Found this recipe online here... http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/make-ahead-unstuffed-shells-128138.aspx

Sorry I haven't uploaded many recipes lately. My oven has been on the fritz - which is a good excuse not to cook (something I really don't like). Anyway, my temperamental oven started working again so... back at it! Recipe at the bottom!

Ingredients:

4

cups  medium pasta shells, uncooked

1

lb.  extra-lean ground beef

1

jar  (24 oz.) marinara sauce

1

tub  (10 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Original Cooking Creme

1/3

cup  chopped fresh basil

1/4

cup  KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese

1-1/2

cups  KRAFT Shredded Mozzarella Cheese with a TOUCH OF PHILADELPHIA

Directions:

COOK pasta as directed on package, omitting salt. Meanwhile, brown meat in large skillet; drain. Stir in marinara sauce; simmer on medium heat 2 min. Remove from heat.

DRAIN pasta. Mix cooking creme, basil and Parmesan in large bowl; stir in pasta. Spread half the meat sauce onto bottom of 13x9-inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray; cover with layers of pasta mixture and remaining meat sauce. Sprinkle with mozzarella; cover with foil. Refrigerate up to 24 hours.

HEAT oven to 375ºF. Bake casserole, covered, 40 to 45 min. or until heated through, uncovering after 30 min.
