Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook noodles, stirring occasionally, until 1 minute less than al dente according to package directions. Drain; reserve 1 cup pasta water. Add butter to noodles and toss to combine.

  2. Meanwhile, in another large pot over medium-high heat, heat oil. Cook beef, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 6 minutes; season with salt.

  3. Reduce heat to medium. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until onion is translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add tomato sauce, soup, cream, and one-third of cheese. Bring to a simmer and cook, adding 1/2 to 1 cup pasta water, until cheese is melted and desired consistency is reached, about 1 minute; season with salt, if needed. Add noodles to pot and mix with meat mixture. Pour into 13" x 9" baking pan and sprinkle with remaining cheese.

  4. Bake casserole until center and edges are bubbly, 30 minutes. Top with parsley.
