A creamy and flavorful spaghetti dish with a twist, perfect for a comforting dinner.
Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, then drain.
Adding a splash of olive oil to the boiling water can prevent the spaghetti from sticking together.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
For added flavor, season the beef with a pinch of salt and pepper while cooking.
Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the marinara sauce and cream cheese until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Warming the cream cheese slightly before adding it to the skillet helps it melt more evenly.
Combine the cooked spaghetti with the sauce in the skillet, tossing to coat evenly.
Using tongs to toss the spaghetti in the sauce ensures every strand is coated.
Serve the spaghetti topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
For a fresh touch, garnish with chopped parsley or basil leaves.
