Creamy Baked Spaghetti - total time 45 minutes


My husband was actually the one that first attempted this recipe here.  He doesn't really know his way around the kitchen and he would be the first to admit it.  So I thought I would try it again and see if I could get a better result.  It really is just your basic spaghetti kicked up a couple notches, really easy and mostly ingredients you should have on hand at all times.

1 lb ground turkey
4 oz. cream cheese
1 onion, chopped
.5 cup mozzarella, shredded
.5 cup parm, divided
1 egg
12 oz. spaghetti noodles
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups marinara sauce
.25 cup bread crumbs
salt and pepper

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Start by browning the turkey meat.  Drain excess grease and add in onion, garlic, salt, and pepper.  
2.  Prepare noodles according to package.
3.  Spoon out cream cheese over the cooked turkey, let soften for a minute or two.  Stir in cream cheese, mozzarella, half of the parm, and sauce.  Add cooked and drained noodles as well as the egg.  Transfer to a casserole dish.
4.  Top with bread crumbs and remaining parm.  Bake for 30 minutes.
