The secret ingredient in this spaghetti dish is the cream cheese, which makes the flavor very rich! Mmmmm. Since there are some picky eaters in my family {I won't name names}, I do not add real onions, but instead onion powder for the taste.
Creamy Spaghetti:
3/4 lb. whole grain spaghetti, cooked
1 lb. lean ground beef {I prefer 90% lean or higher}
2 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. onion powder
2 tsp. dried basil
24 oz. spaghetti sauce of your choice
4 oz. cream cheese, cubed
2 TBSP. Parmesan cheese, fresh or canned
Cook spaghetti as directed on the package. Cook the hamburger, along with the onion powder, garlic powder & basil. Drain, then return to pan. Stir in sauce and cream cheese; cook on low 3-5 minutes or until sauce is heated and cream cheese has melted. Drain spaghetti noodles and add to sauce. Mix and dish up! Top with Parmesan cheese. {{399 calories per serving}}
I made this the other night and it is our new way to eat spaghetti we LOVED! I am going to try the french bread pizza this week! : )
