A comforting, delicious, and easy to whip up meal that combines ground beef with a rich creamy sauce and spaghetti.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 pound ground beef (80/20)
12 ounces spaghetti pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, chopped
28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
8 ounces cream cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and onions are translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add ground beef to the pot, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until the beef is browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Stir in crushed tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
While the sauce simmers, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions in a separate pot. Drain and set aside once cooked.
Add cream cheese to the meat sauce, stirring until it’s fully melted and incorporated for a creamy texture.
Toss the drained spaghetti into the sauce mixture, ensuring that all the pasta is well-coated.
Finally, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top, allowing it to melt slightly before serving.
