1️⃣ Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set it aside.

2️⃣ Prepare the Sauce:

In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.

Add the spaghetti sauce and Italian seasoning to the skillet. Stir well and let it simmer for a few minutes.

3️⃣ Cook the Spaghetti:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

4️⃣ Mix with Cream Cheese:

While the spaghetti is still warm, combine it with the softened cream cheese and minced garlic. Toss until the noodles are evenly coated and creamy.

5️⃣ Assemble the Casserole:

Spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Add the cream cheese-coated spaghetti on top of the sauce.

Spread the remaining meat sauce evenly over the spaghetti.

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top.

6️⃣ Bake:

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through.

Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set.
