Boil pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
Brown up ground beef. Drain off the fat. Mix in sauce and let simmer 5 minutes to heat through.

Ladle 1 large spoonful of your sauce on the bottom of the pan and spread it around. This will keep your pasta from sticking.

Spoon your sour cream on top of the provolone cheese. spreading over as much of the pan as you can.

Sprinkle 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese over your noodles.
Spread the remaining sauce over cheese.
