Preheat oven to 425F
Spray 8X8 baking pan, break long noodles in half if you need to, to make then fit inside your pan, place pasta in pan.
Warm cream cheese, i just microwave it for like 30 seconds. Then I cube it.
Mix all sauce ingredients in a bowl. Mince garlic if using fresh. Try to break up and mix the cream cheese in as best as you can.
Pour sauce over pasta, mix
Cover with foil, bake 30 minutes
Uncover, I like to stir it, just to break up any sticking to each other noodles, and mix in any liquid hanging out at the sides.
Put about a cup of shredded cheese of your choice on top, place back in oven, uncovered, to just melt the cheese, not going for browned at this point.
Remove from oven (but it's going back in)
Stir the melted cheese into the pasta, that's the goal here.
Add the rest of the cheese on top, place back in oven, uncovered, until melted and browned to your liking, about 13 minutes for me with this cheese.
Let sit for 2-5 minutes to solidify, than serve.
