Ingredients | Make Ahead Camping Meals No Cook

4 cups medium pasta shells, uncooked

1 pound extra-lean ground beef

1 (20 ounce) jar pasta sauce

¾ cup PHILADELPHIA Light Cream Cheese Spread

½ cup milk

¼ cup KRAFT 100% Parmesan Shredded Cheese

⅓ cup chopped fresh basil

Drain pasta. Whisk cream cheese spread, milk and Parmesan in large bowl until well blended. Add pasta and basil; stir gently until pasta is evenly coated. Spread half the meat sauce onto bottom of 13x9-inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray; cover with pasta mixture and remaining meat sauce. Sprinkle with mozzarella; cover with foil. Refrigerate up to 24 hours.

Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Bake casserole, covered, 40 to 45 min. or until heated through, uncovering after 30 min.

Substitute: Substitute fresh parsley for the basil.

Special Extra: Cook 1 each small chopped onion and green pepper along with the meat.
