  • Author: Mary

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 3½ cups whole milk

  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 pound uncooked spaghetti

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • ¾ cup cooked and crumbled turkey bacon

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)


Instructions

 

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F.

  2. Cook Spaghetti:
    Cook the spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  3. Prepare Sauce:

    • In a large pot over medium heat, heat the olive oil.

    • Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

    • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

    • Reduce heat to low and add the milk, cream of chicken soup, softened cream cheese, salt, and black pepper.

    • Cook, stirring frequently, until the cream cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

  4. Combine Pasta and Sauce:
    Add the cooked spaghetti to the sauce, tossing to coat evenly.

  5. Assemble in Baking Dish:

    • Transfer the pasta and sauce mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

    • Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses over the top.

    • Top with the crumbled turkey bacon.

  6. Bake:

    • Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.

    • Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes until cheese is bubbly.

    • For a golden top, broil for the last 5 minutes—keep an eye on it!

  7. Serve:
    Let rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
