Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

  7. In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese and sour cream. Mix until smooth and well blended.
  8. Add cooked pasta to the cream cheese mixture. Toss gently until pasta is evenly coated.
  9. Spread creamy pasta mixture evenly in the bottom of prepared baking dish.
  10. Layer seasoned ground beef mixture evenly over the pasta layer.
