Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • Pour the cream cheese mixture over the noodles, spreading it evenly.
  • Layer the remaining spaghetti noodles on top of the cream cheese mixture and dot with a few more slices of butter.
  • Pour the spaghetti and meat sauce mixture over the noodles.
  • Bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
  • After 30 minutes, top with grated cheddar cheese and return to the oven for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

 

  • Serve and enjoy!
