# Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Cook the spaghetti al dente according to the package instructions. Rinse and drain under cold water.

In a large pot over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add chopped onion and cook until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Toss the cooked spaghetti in the sauce to fully coat it, then transfer to a baking dish.

Top the pasta with grated mozzarella cheese, grated cheddar cheese, and cooked, crumbled bacon.

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 10 minutes. Broil for the last 5 minutes while monitoring closely to avoid burning.

Remove the pasta from the oven and serve warm. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top as desired.
# Notes:
01 -
Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for smooth melting.

Whole milk creates a thicker sauce; 2% milk results in a thinner consistency.
03 -
Cook and crumble the bacon beforehand using frying, baking, or grilling methods.
