Delicious Million Dollar Spaghetti Recipe

The name of this dish is perfect—it tastes just like a million dollars Spaghetti! Million Dollar Spaghetti How could it get much better than this?

This million-dollar spaghetti is similar to the ideal combination of lasagna and spaghetti. It has layers of spaghetti noodles, a delicious marinara sauce, and a variety of cheeses, including cream cheese, naturally! Oh, and there’s more cheese! There aren’t enough words to describe how incredibly wonderful this dish is! Simply double your favorite pasta dish (I love bacon carbonara) by ten. Okay, so perhaps it goes a bit too far, but this dish is really recommended.

Plan ahead because this dish takes roughly the same amount of time to prepare as a lasagna. Smelling it and realizing it will take some time to cool down before cutting into it is the hardest part. However, you may prepare your wedge salad to go with it while this tasty meal bakes! Now let’s begin cooking and enjoy this delicious meal.

Recipe

Spaghetti Layer

1. As directed on the package, cook the spaghetti noodles in boiling water for a few minutes shorter than the recommended amount of time (because the noodles will continue to cook and soften in the oven). Then, drain the noodles.
2. Drain off the water then toss with one cup of marinara sauce.

Meat Layer

1. Then in a large skillet, over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Cook the ground beef and sausage until meat colour is gone. Remove excess oil.
2. Cook the onion and garlic together for three minutes, or until the onion becomes tender. Add the pepper, salt, and Italian seasoning.
3. After removing the heat source, mix in four cups of marinara sauce.

Creamy Cheese Layer

1. Pour the sour cream, ricotta, and cream cheese into a large mixing bowl. Stir to incorporate.
2. Add one cup of mozzarella cheese and the parmesan cheese and stir.

To Assemble

1. Set the oven’s temperature. Apply cooking spray to a baking dish.
2. Fill the prepared pan with the pasta mixture.
3. Scatter the butter pads evenly over the noodles.
4. Cover the spaghetti mixture with a layer of the cream cheese mixture.
5. Cover the cheese mixture with the meat mixture.
6. Evenly scatter 1 1/2 cups of the mozzarella cheese, shredded.
7. Bake for thirty minutes with the foil covering.
8. Bake for a further 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and melted, then uncover and continue baking!
