The Best Pasta I Have Ever Had

So the other night I was knocking around in the kitchen trying to decide what to make for dinner.  I had seen this recipe for "Million Dollar Spaghetti" It looks good, but I didn't have all the ingredients for it.  Mostly, I was missing Cottage Cheese. So I had to look for something else. Then I found the mother of all pasta bakes.  Honestly, I've never eaten anything so good, ever in recent memory. :) So, here is the link to the best pasta I have ever eaten, but for those of you that are lazy, here's the recipe below.

The Best Spaghetti You Will Ever Eat

Ingredients:

8 oz. spaghetti (I didn't have spaghetti in the cupboard so I just used Rotini)
1 lb. ground beef
1 (26.5 oz) can spaghetti sauce (I used Hunt's Four Cheese)
1 Tbsp Butter
1/2 c chopped green peppers (I actually used a small can of diced green chilies- drained)
1/3 c chopped onions (Half a small onion, roughly)
8 oz. cream cheese (softened)
2 Tbsp milk
Fresh grated Parmesan Cheese
French Fried Onions (I like the cheddar ones, but regular is fine)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Cook pasta according to directions on the package, but cook to al dente, because it will continue to cook later in the oven. 
3. Brown the ground beef. Drain grease, Add spaghetti sauce to skillet and simmer. 
4. Combine veggies and butter, cover and microwave 4 minutes until soft.  Add cream cheese and milk and stir well.
5. Layer a 9x13 glass baking dish in the following order, thin layer of sauce, cooked pasta, cream cheese mixture, remaining sauce, parmesan cheese.
6. Bake for 25 minutes. Top with french-friend onions and bake for 5 more minutes.

So really, try this. You won't regret it. It's delicious. and you don't want to deny your stomach such crazy goodness. :)
