Creamy Pasta Bake with Ground Meat

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until translucent.

Add ground meat to the skillet, cooking until browned. Season with salt and pepper.

Stir in grated carrots and cook for another 5 minutes until softened.

In a bowl, mix the cooked pasta with the meat mixture and cream cheese until well combined.

Transfer the mixture to a baking dish, spreading it evenly. Top with grated cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
