Ingredients

  • 12 ounces thin spaghetti noodles
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 small yellow onion chopped
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 can (16 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 3/4 cup Mozzarella cheese shredded

Instructions

  • Spray a deep-dish pie plate with non-stick spray.
  • Cook spaghetti noodles until al dente, in a large pot of salted water, according to package directions. Drain.
  • In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the ground beef. Add the onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook until beef is browned. Drain grease.
  • Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, basil and oregano to beef. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to low and let simmer 10 minutes.
  • When noodles are done cooking, add the cream cheese to hot noodles and toss until cream cheese is almost melted. Stir in ricotta cheese and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese to noodles. Stir in 2 cups of the meat sauce into the noodles.
  • Pour mixture into the pie plate. Press noodles evenly into the pie plate. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan and 1/4 cup Mozzarella over the top.
  • Bake @ 350° F. for 18 - 20 minutes, or until hot and bubbly and cheese is melted. Remove from oven, and let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Top each slice with meat sauce. Enjoy!
