Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9 x 13 baking dish.
In a large pot of well salted boiling water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well. Set aside.
While pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add ground beef and onion; cook until meat has browned, about 3-5 minutes, crumbling the beef as it cooks; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Drain off and discard excess fat.
Stir in crushed tomatoes, basil, oregano, parsley and red pepper flakes; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
In a small bowl, whisk together cream cheese and sour cream.
