BAKED SPAGHETTI WITH CREAM CHEESE | JUST A PINCH RECIPES



Baked Spaghetti with Cream Cheese | Just A Pinch Recipes image

This cream cheese baked spaghetti is a perfect weeknight meal but good enough to have on a special occasion. Mixing cream cheese with the spaghetti noodles makes the whole dish rich. It almost has the flavors of lasagna without the work. The sauce and meat mixture layered beneath and on top of the noodles mingles with the noodles in the baking process. All of the fresh veggies give the sauce so much flavor. Carrots almost add a subtle sweetness. The cheese mixture on top is the perfect gooey topping. We think after you try this, you'll be making it all the time.

Provided by Ree Drummond

Categories     main dish    meat

Total Time 1 hours 20 minutes

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 1 hours

Yield 18 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

5 lb. ground beef
3 tbsp. olive oil
2 whole large yellow onions, diced
2 whole green bell pepper, seeded and diced
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 c. white wine (or low-sodium beef broth, if you prefer)
2 28-ounce cans of crushed tomatoes
1 14-ounce can of crushed tomatoes
1 4-ounce can of tomato paste 
1 jar good store-bought marinara sauce
1 tsp. ground oregano
1 tsp. ground thyme 
4 whole bay leaves
2 tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper (optional)
1/4 c. finely minced fresh parsley (or 3 tablespoons of parsley flakes)
1 whole rind from one wedge parmesan (optional)
1/2 c. grated parmesan cheese (optional)
2 lb. spaghetti, cooked al dente and tossed with olive oil
Extra minced parsley, for serving
extra parmesan cheese, for serving

Steps:

  • IMPORTANT: This recipe can easily be halved! I just like to make a ton so I can freeze it.  In a large pot over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until totally browned. Remove meat from pot with a slotted spoon and put into a bowl. Set aside. 
  • Discard any grease in pot, but do not clean the pot. Drizzle in olive oil. When it is heated, throw in the diced onion and diced bell pepper. Stir it around for 1 1/2 minutes, then add the garlic. Stir and cook for an additional minute. 
  • Pour in the wine and allow it to bubble up and reduce for about 1 1/2 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and marinara sauce. Stir to combine, then add oregano, thyme, sugar, salt, bay leaves, and crushed red pepper (if using). Stir, then add cooked ground beef and stir to combine. Place the lid on the pot and allow to simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Add a little water or some low-sodium broth if it needs more liquid.
  • After an hour, add the minced parsley and the rind from a wedge of Parmesan (or grated Parmesan if you prefer--or both!) Stir to combine, then put the lid back on and allow it to simmer for another 30 minutes or so. Discard bay leaves before serving.
  • Serve a big bowl of oiled noodles and spaghetti sauce so guests can serve themselves. Top each serving with minced parsley and grated Parmesan (or Parmesan shavings) and serve with a big piece of garlic-cheese bread. Amen.
