Million-dollar spaghetti may not make you any richer, but this cheesy, layered casserole will win you the compliment lottery.

Ingredients

  • 1 package (8 ounces) spaghetti
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 jar (14 ounces) spaghetti sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese
  • 1 cup reduced-fat ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup reduced-fat sour cream
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese

Directions

  1. Cook spaghetti according to package directions; drain. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the beef, onion and garlic over medium heat until beef is no longer pink, 6-8 minutes, breaking up beef into crumbles; drain. Stir in the spaghetti sauce, salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, ricotta cheese and sour cream until blended; stir in green onions. In a greased 11x7-in. baking dish, layer the spaghetti, cream cheese mixture and meat mixture. Top with shredded cheese.
  3. Bake, covered, 25 minutes. Uncover; bake until cheese is bubbly, 5-10 minutes longer. If desired, top with additional green onions.
