Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 8 ounces spaghetti
  • 1 lb. ground beef or Italian sausage
  • ½ cup diced onion
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
  • 1 (15.5 ounce) jar marinara sauce (about 1 ¾ cups total)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 3 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup reduced-fat sour cream
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray and set aside (I used an 11 x 7-inch dish, but a deep 8- or 9-inch square dish will also work).
  • Cook spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water, just until cooked through but still firm to the bite (about 7-8 minutes). Drain.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the beef, onion and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink (about 6-8 minutes); drain. Stir in the spaghetti sauce, salt and pepper. Turn heat to low, and add cream cheese, sour cream and green onions; stir just until cream cheese is melted (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat, add the cooked pasta, and toss to combine.
  • Transfer to prepared baking dish. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over top. Cover and bake for 25 minutes. Uncover; bake for 5 more minutes, or until casserole is bubbly.
