5. Let the sauce simmer on a light boil for about 10 minutes, then remove from heat.

1. Creamy Pasta
2. Cook pasta according to package directions, strain, and place back in the pot it was cooked in, and drizzle with olive oil to keep it from sticking.

4. Spoon the meat sauce onto a large baking dish (about 2 ladles).
5. Spread half of the pasta mixture over the sauce.
