Heidi's Baked Spaghetti

Heidi's Baked Spaghetti Ingredients

1 lb Thick spaghetti cooked	1 pinch Dried basil
3 ounces Cream cheese Light or Regular, melted
1 Egg	Sauce
1/4 cup Parsley dried or fresh	2 jars/cans Spaghetti Sauce (I like Del Monte Chunky Garlic & Herb)
1 1/2 cups Italian Shredded Cheese Blend (Asiago, Parmesan, Romano, etc.)	1 lb Ground beef cooked

Instructions for Heidi's Baked Spaghetti

Cook spaghetti as directed on package; drain.

In large bowl, combine cream cheese, egg, parsley, 1 cup of shredded cheese and dried basil. Add cooked spaghetti and mix well. Pour into large, greased baking dish, add remaining 1/2 cup cheese and cover. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes. Let sit for 10 minutes to set.

While the spaghetti is baking, brown the ground beef in large sauce pan. Add spaghetti sauce to ground beef and heat sauce until it bubbles (several minutes).

My family prefers to have the spaghetti baked separately from the sauce so they can put as much sauce on as they like. However, you could top the spaghetti with the sauce and bake together for 20-30 minutes and the sauce will bake in with the spaghetti. It's up to you!
