What You Need

lb. spaghetti, uncooked

slices OSCAR MAYER Bacon, chopped

onion, finely chopped

oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, cubed

1/2

cup KRAFT Zesty Italian Dressing

Tbsp. KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese

Make It

COOK spaghetti as directed on package.

MEANWHILE, cook and stir bacon and onions in large skillet on medium-high heat 8 min. or until bacon is crisp and onions are tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from skillet; drain. Wipe out skillet.

DRAIN spaghetti. Immediately add to skillet with all remaining ingredients; toss until cream cheese is completely melted and mixture is well blended.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Cooking Know-How

Since the pasta needs to be really hot in order to melt the cream cheese, it should be added to the skillet immediately after draining it.

Special Extra

Sprinkle with 1 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh parsley just before serving.

Substitute

Prepare using PHILADELPHIA Neufchatel Cheese and KRAFT Light Zesty Italian Dressing.

I made this dish for a couple friends for lunch. A loaf spicy garlic bread tops this off wonderfully!! Quick,easy, and good!!

This bears NO relation to Spaghetti Carbonara, which consists of spaghetti, butter, parmesan cheese, ham/bacon, and, crucially, raw eggs. (The eggs cook of course from the heat of the spaghetti.)
