My roommate showed me this last summer and I haven’t stopped making it since

This Oven Baked Lazy Cream Cheese Salsa Shells recipe turns basic pasta into a warm, creamy casserole with a zesty kick. Melting cream cheese directly into hot pasta shells along with chunky salsa creates an effortless, velvety sauce that bakes up hot and bubbly.

Oven Baked 3-Ingredient Lazy Cream Cheese Salsa Shells

Ingredients:

Step-By-Step Directions:

1. Preheat and prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a medium casserole dish.

2. Boil pasta: Cook the pasta shells in salted boiling water until just tender, then drain thoroughly.

3. Combine sauce: Return the hot, drained shells to the warm pot. Add the cubed cream cheese and chunky salsa, stirring until the cream cheese melts and forms a smooth, creamy sauce over the pasta.

4. Transfer to dish: Spoon the coated pasta into the prepared casserole dish and spread into an even layer.

5. Bake and rest: Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until hot and bubbly around the edges. Allow to stand for 5 minutes before serving warm.
