...the lid of the package!!! It's funny how some of the best recipes are printed right on our favorite food packages. I wasn't even looking for this. I just randomly noticed it while making a dip with cream cheese. Underneath the lid of the Philadelphia Cream Cheese was a recipe for Spaghetti a la Philly. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who makes up corny titles. Anyhoo, it looked interesting, if not a little dodgy, so I decided to try it. Here's the breakdown.
Spaghetti a la Philly
-Half a package of Philadelphia cream cheese (4 oz)
-One jar of spaghetti sauce
-One package of spaghetti
-One pound of ground beef
Cook the spaghetti noodles as directed. Meanwhile, brown the ground beef in a pan, drain, and return the beef to the pan. Pour the sauce over the beef and add the cream cheese. Heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is hot and the cream cheese is completely blended. Pour the noodles into a bowl and pour sauce mixture over them. Mix thoroughly and serve.
There it is. The ooey-gooey cream cheese. It takes a few minutes to heat up and begin to melt properly.
Sauce and noodles, a match made in heaven.
It's a wonder I actually found this. I never look at the underside of packages.
Mmmmm, creamy...
And there it is. Delicious and nutritious.
This is just one ingredient off of what Mike and I usually do for spaghetti, though Mike doesn't usually like all the spaghetti mixed with the beefy sauce in the beginning. Despite the similarity, however, we were both a little uncertain about this. After all, cream cheese in spaghetti sauce? We were wrong to be skeptical. This was the best spaghetti we've ever made! I may never go back to the old way. Basically, it's taking typical skgeddi (as we like to call it) and adding some really creamy zest. It reheats for leftovers in the microwave really well too. It also has all four food groups in it, so you can feel good about serving a one-dish meal. I fully recommend this bit of deliciousness. Thanks for reading.
