MILLION DOLLAR PASTA

INGREDIENTS:

1 pound penne pasta

1 pound ground beef

1 jar pasta sauce

8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature

1 cup cottage cheese

1/2 cup sour cream

1 tablespoon chopped chives

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package directions.

While the pasta is cooking, brown the hamburger meat in a medium skillet, crumbling it as it cooks. Drain the fat and return to the pan. Stir in the pasta sauce and set aside.

Meanwhile, beat together the cream cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream, chives, salt, and pepper with an electric mixer until well combined.

Drain the pasta when it's finished cooking and return to the pot. Stir in the cream cheese mixture and the meat sauce until well coated.

Serve immediately.
