Instructions:
First, stir together the milk, cream cheese, and soup in a large pot. Milk burns very easily, so it is best to do this over medium heat stirring regularly. Once the cream cheese is fully melted, add in some of the grated cheese, bacon, as well as seasonings. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 400 degrees. After that, prepare a baking dish with some non-stick spray.
Next, break the dry spaghetti in half and place it in the pot bubbling with cream cheese pasta sauce! The pasta will boil in the sauce rather than water. This quick step is why I LOVE easy pasta recipes!
Once the pasta is cooked, which takes around 8-10 minutes, transfer the noodles to a 9″x13″ pan. Add additional cheese and bacon, then bake to perfection! The bake time is only 15 minutes! It is a wonderful dinner to serve with a side salad or fresh veggies. For example, asparagus, zucchini, or broccoli. You can add a little extra protein by using the spaghetti as a side to chicken. However, it is a perfectly delicious meal on its own.
