What You Need

small onion, chopped

1/4

cup KRAFT Lite Zesty Italian Dressing

lb. extra-lean ground beef

can (15 oz.) tomato sauce

can (14.5 oz.) diced tomatoes, undrained

3/4

lb. spaghetti, uncooked

Tbsp. PHILADELPHIA Neufchatel Cheese

1/4

cup KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese

It's for dipping and dunking and mixing-upping. And yes, for salad too.

Make It

COOK and stir onions in dressing in large skillet on medium heat 5 min. or until crisp-tender. Add meat; cook on medium-high heat until browned, stirring frequently. Stir in tomato sauce and tomatoes. Bring to boil; simmer on medium-low 15 min., stirring occasionally.

MEANWHILE, cook spaghetti as directed on package, omitting salt.

REMOVE sauce from heat. Add Neufchatel; stir until melted. Drain spaghetti; place in large bowl. Top with sauce and Parmesan.

This will be the 3rd time I've made this. Absolutely amazing. My whole family will eat it (picky 7 yr old)! I'm trying new spices the next time!

I didn't have a lot of time the night I made this, so I substituted the tomatoes and onion for spaghetti sauce in a jar. I just added the cream cheese and parm. cheese. It was great.

This was so delicious and so easy to make. A good dish to get the kids involved too! They loved helping make it and eat it. Not hard to make at all. Will definately make it again.

I never use to eat spaghetti until now. My whole family loves it as well and refused to eat any other kind of spaghetti again

We have been doing these 1 bag, 5 dinners recipes and some of them are just okay but this spaghetti was really great. My hubby isn't a pasta person but he did say I was welcome to make this anytime because he really liked the flavor.

This was very tasty! I really liked this recipe. It's a nice change from spaghetti sauce and meatballs. It was very easy to make. The only thing I will change next time is I will not add the sauce to the entire package of cooked spaghetti. I think there was more pasta than sauce. I will spoon the sauce over the individual serving of spaghetti.

Easy! Thats the best part! My husband and I love pasta but do get sick of the same old pasta and red sauce. But this was just different enough that is was completely satisfying!

My very picky family that does not like spaghetti LOVED this recipe. Very easy to make!
