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.

I thought this was good. A definite change from red meat sauce and pasta. My husband didn't care for it much.

As always I read the other reviews, I think w/o adjusting a little its kinda bland, so I added fresh garlic, seasoned tomato sauce, added pepper flakes, Italian seasoning and parm to the sauce. I also cooked it a little longer than the required time. Next time I will use petite diced tomatoes instead of the regular. Maybe some fresh basil? In the end my son liked this so, I guess we will make it again. :)

Great change of pace from the recipe I normally use. Everyone in family liked it (husband and 4 girls ages 6 to 11). Quick and easy to make. Will definitly make again!

Tasted good but wasn't great. My husband who isn't a spaghetti fan loved it though!
