3/4

lb. spaghetti, uncooked

Tbsp. PHILADELPHIA Neufchatel 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.

Love it! I substituted lean ground turkey (instead of beef) and lean turkey sausage in the sauce and it was AMAZING! No one but me knew it was turkey because it tasted fabulous! Give my way and shot and hopefully it will be a hit like mine was!

I was pretty disappointed with this recipe. I anticipated a lot of flavor, but there just wasn't.

The only difference between this and the spaghetti I normally make is the cream cheese...I added a little more cream cheese than what the recipe called for to make it creamier, it was very tasty!

So good! I used ground turkey breast, light cream cheese, plus added a little extra cream cheese and salad dressing. My husband loved it!

This recipe was great. Next time I am going to add small chuncks of Italian sasage, to spice it a little more.

Instead of making a meat sauce, I simmered some leftover meatballs in the sauce. Really great sauce over spaghetti.

This was so refreshing from regular spaghetti. I made some small variations in the ingredients, I added two cloves of garlic, excluded the diced tomatoes, doubled the sauce and the cream cheese. It stank a little bit but it was delicious.
