Step-by-Step Instructions for Baked Cream Cheese Spaghetti Casserole
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and milk. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Fold the cooled spaghetti into the cream cheese mixture. Drizzle in melted butter and mix well. Add any cooked meats or vegetables if desired.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour spaghetti mixture into the dish and spread. Top with mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. Optionally broil for 2-3 minutes for a crispy top.
- Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes
Avoid overcooking the spaghetti to ensure it remains al dente. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
