- 1/2 lb lean ground beef
- 1/2 lb ground Italian sausage
- 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper adjust to taste

- While the pasta cooks, in a large skillet, over medium heat, cook onion for about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and stir for about one minute. Be careful not to let the garlic burn.
- Add ground beef and ground sausage to the skillet and cook until it is browned and no longer pink. Add marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper, and diced tomatoes and simmer 20 minutes. Add in cubes of softened cream cheese. Stir until melted.
- Add the pasta into a baking dish.
