What started out as a lack of spaghetti in the pantry, turned into this creamy tomato sauce mixed with beef and shell pasta. It’s a nice way to switch up spaghetti night and even better is how easy it is to throw together on a weeknight or a cozy Sunday. Don’t forget the garlic bread!

Whenever I am craving a creamy pasta sauce, I always go for my favorite Hiland Dairy ingredients. This sauce includes Hiland Sour Cream and Heavy Cream. They have high quality ingredients and I know the taste will be amazing each and every time. Hiland Dairy is always in my fridge.

This recipe is easy to make, one pan and comes together so quickly. It’s a family favorite that everyone will love. Grab yourself some Hiland ingredients and make this one tonight! (Don’t forget the garlic bread!)
