A comforting and creamy spaghetti casserole perfect for busy weeknights.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces spaghetti
  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, marinara sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the drained spaghetti to the cream cheese mixture and toss gently to coat every noodle.
