Spaghetti Bake
Spaghetti Bake is a layered pasta casserole that feeds eight from one dish. The middle layer is the clever part: cream cheese, cottage cheese and sour cream are beaten together and sandwiched between two beds of spaghetti, so every slice cuts through a creamy stripe under the meat sauce. Ground turkey keeps it lighter, ground beef makes it richer, and a Parmesan and bread crumb topping gives a crisp finish.
Instructions
Heat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray a 3-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
Cook the chopped onion with the ground meat in a large pan until the meat is cooked through. Stir in the spaghetti sauce and Italian seasoning, then set the pan aside.
In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, cottage cheese and sour cream until well combined. Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions and drain it.
Spread half of the spaghetti over the bottom of the baking dish. Spoon the cheese mixture over it, then cover with the rest of the spaghetti.
Spread the meat sauce over the top layer of noodles. Stir the bread crumbs and Parmesan together and sprinkle them over the sauce.
Bake for 30 minutes, until the casserole is bubbling at the edges and heated through.
Make it personal.
