So I’m sure you have noticed by now that I LOVE pasta.
My recent pasta recipes over the last couple of weeks have gone viral several times! You need to check those out as well!!
NOW, back to this Million Dollar deliciousness you see before your eyes!
This has been floating around the internet and when i checked some of the recipes out, I found it amazing that this is EXTREMELY similar to my Lasagna recipe, I have been making for years that everyone raves about!
Its pretty easy to throw together too!
I have also noticed that this is MUCH easier than my lasagna recipe and the flavors are basically the same!
.
The mixture of sour cream, cream cheese and cottage gives it that MILLION DOLLAR flavor! (shh thats why everyone loves my lasagna! lol )
I have done this with many types of pasta, but spaghetti is its ‘signature’ type most people use, though you can use ANY that you’d like 🙂
Spread it on before tossing!
Yes, I love my cheese, don’t judge 😉

Your million dollar spaghetti looks so good ..can t wait to make it I think it s because of the cream cheese in it .I love anything that has cream cheese in it .
PatternMaker says
Fill a pre-made pie shell with a layer of spaghetti coated with egg white and Parmesan, spread with a creamy mix of egg yolk, ricotta, parsley and mozzarella, spoon in a meaty tomato sauce, then top with mozzarella and bake for a sensational party dish.
Gloria says
I would never use cottage cheese in my spaghetti.I would use ricotta cheese..
Lisa M. says
Im not a fan of ricotta unless its in dessert- Cottage tastes fantastic in this recipe! Though you could use ricotta in its place.

Naomi Knox says
This soinds delicious! Making this tonight … thanks so much for sharing.

Tina says
I do not like the sour cream or the cream cheese in this dish so I substitute ricotta or cottage cheese.I also put a couple of eggs in the cheese mixture. I may be weird because everyone else I know likes this recipe. I think it is pretty easy to play around with whatever cheese you like It will still be good.
Dorothy says
this recipe makes too much for one meal for my family. Could I freeze it?
Laura says
I changed it up a little by using turkey ground beef and it came out really good.
Jessica says
It came out horrible. (Don’t over cook spaghetti)

Leigh Ann says
This is delicious exactly how it is written. I have made it twice. Very creamy not dry at all like most spaghetti pies.
Tina says
I’m making this for the 2nd time. My family loves this dish. Thanks for sharing
Linda Parks says
I am looking forward to making this recipe, however, I am puzzled by the TABLESPOON of black pepper! Could this be a mistake? I have never seen more than half a teaspoon of black pepper in any recipe before. This seems to be an overload of pepper and my tongue is very sensitive (dry mouth). Could I have some clarification on this?
