Preparation
Step 1
In large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; cook garlic, onion, basil, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper, stirring often, for 5 minutes or until softened. Add tomatoes and tomato paste; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes or until thickened slightly. Add shrimp; cook for about 5 minutes or until pink. Stir in parsley.
Meanwhile, in large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta for about 8 minutes or until tender but firm; drain well and add to sauce. Spread half in greased 11 x 7 inch (2l) baking dish.
In small bowl, beat cream cheese with sour cream until smooth; stir in onions. Spread over pasta mixture; top with remaining pasta mixture. Sprinkle with mozzarella and parmesan cheeses. Cover with greased foil. (Casserole can be prepared to this point and refrigerated for up to 1 day) Bake in 350F oven for about 1 hour or until bubbly and heated through. Uncover and broil for 2 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and golden.
