Ingredients

  • 1 lb Italian sausage
  • 1 lb spaghetti
  • 1 24 ounce marinara sauce I like Rao's
  • 1 8 ounce cream cheese softened
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese optional

Instructions

  • Start a large pot of boiling water. Boil the spaghetti according to the package directions. Drain off the water once finished cooking.
  • In a large skillet, cook and crumble the Italian sausage over medium heat. Cook until browned and cooked through. Drain off any excess grease.
  • Stir in the garlic. Cook for about 1 minute.
  • Stir in the marinara sauce. Stir in the cream cheese. Keep stirring until the cream cheese melts.
  • Add the cooked spaghetti into the sauce. Toss to completely coat.
  • Optional: You can top the spaghetti with grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Serve warm.

Notes

  • I recommend softening the cream cheese and cutting it into smaller cubes. This helps it to melt into the sauce faster.
  • Add some salt the pasta cooking water. This helps to season the spaghetti noodles.
