Ingredients

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the penne pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
  2. While the pasta cooks, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
  3. Season the beef with salt and pepper to taste. Add the stewed tomatoes to the skillet and stir to combine.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer uncovered for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.
  5. Stir in the softened cream cheese and sliced green onions. Mix until the cream cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
  6. Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the beef and cheese sauce. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly.
  7. Sprinkle the shredded Swiss, Parmesan, and Cheddar cheeses over the top.
  8. Cover the skillet and let it sit on low heat for 2 minutes, or until the cheeses are completely melted. Serve immediately.
