Roll up those sleeves and let’s get cooking!

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
4. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
5. Add the ground beef or turkey, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
6. Stir in the marinara sauce and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti and cream cheese, mixing until the spaghetti is well coated.
8. Spread half of the spaghetti mixture in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Top with half of the meat sauce.
9. Layer the remaining spaghetti and meat sauce on top.
10. Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
11. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
12. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.

And there you have it! A dish that’s just as satisfying to make as it is to eat.
