This is a quick, easy and very tasty pasta sauce! Although my family prefers my homemade pasta sauce it takes quite a while to prepare and almost the entire day to simmer. This was a breeze to prepare and was ready in less than 30 minutes.

My kids were shocked I was making spaghetti sauce from scratch, and I was shocked at how easy this recipe was to make. Everyone loved it!!

Great recipe. I followed the advice in some of the reviews and added italian seasoning blend, oregano, and a bit more cream cheese. Reheated very well, didn't dry out at all. Will definitely be making again. Used Barilla Plus multi-grain pasta for my husband and brown rice pasta for myself, tasted great on both.

I made this for a Sunday lunch and doubled because I had 5 adults, 3 young children and 2 toddlers. Two of the adults do not like spaghetti but they ended up eating 2 heaping plates and the kids devoured it. The youngest toddler is 13 months old and ate everything on his plate. I will definitely make this again and seeing as my husband is one of the adults that does not like spaghetti, that's saying something if he'll eat and like it. Love most of the recipes I have used so far. Thanks, T

This recipe is a keeper. Very easy to make and delicious. The salad dressing gives it just the right amount of zesty flavor. I used a third of a bag of frozen pre-chopped onions and sauted them for about five minutes in the salad dressing before turning the heat up to medium for another five, then added the hamburger. If you hate to measure, use about half of one of those small squares of Philadelphi Cream Cheese.

Wonderful! I made this for dinner tonight and found it very simple to make. I did use about a half cup of dressing, and added some basil for more flavor. I paired this with a nice semi-dry Riesling wine. My friend and I enjoyed it very much. Give this dish a try if you are looking for an easy, inexpensive meal that impresses. I'm glad I tried it.
