Million Dollar Spaghetti 🍝 💵

INGREDIENTS:

-Spaghetti Pasta: The base of the dish.

-Ground Beef (or Sausage): Adds savory flavor.

-Marinara Sauce: Use your favorite jarred or homemade sauce.

-Cream Cheese & Ricotta: Creates the creamy, rich layers.

Mozzarella & Parmesan Cheese: For that gooey, cheesy top.

-Butter: Adds richness to the pasta.

Seasonings: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian herbs

INSTRUCTIONS:

-Cook the Pasta: Boil spaghetti until al dente. Drain and toss with butter.

-Prepare the Meat Sauce: Brown the ground beef, drain excess fat, and stir in marinara sauce.

-Mix the Cheese Layer: Combine cream cheese, ricotta, and part of the mozzarella until smooth.

-Layer the Dish: Spread half the spaghetti in a baking dish, top with the cheese mixture, then add the remaining spaghetti. Pour the meat sauce over and sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan.

-Bake: Cover with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes until bubbly and golden.
