    I have to be honest-I was a lilttle nervous about using the cream cheese, so I only used half. This was so good and so easy. I will never buy jarred sauce again. This was a hit with the whole family. I will put this in our supper rotate. Thanks again!

    I never would have thought to add cream cheese to spaghetti, but it was a wonderful touch that made this spaghetti more creamy than most! The bite from the seasonings was also nice (I used the suggested amounts, though I may use a little less pepper next time). I couldn't find diced tomatoes with sweet onions so I just used plain diced tomatoes...otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly. Let me suggest though, that unless you plan to feed a small army or freeze some for another day, you may want to half this recipe! This made a ton of spaghetti and it's very filling! Very tasty though! Thanks!

    I have always added ranch dressing to make my spaghetti creamy. I dont know why I never thought to add cream cheese! This was so good! I will definitely make it again!
