Spaghetti Pie Casserole
    1 package (8 ounces)  angel hair spaghetti
    1 pound  ground beef
    1 small  onion, chopped
    2  garlic cloves, minced
* 1 jar (14 ounces) spaghetti sauce Newman’s marinara
    1/2 teaspoon  salt
    1/4 teaspoon  pepper
    3 ounces  reduced-fat cream cheese
    1 cup  reduced-fat sour cream
    3  green onions, chopped
    1-1/2 cups  shredded cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese
    1 pkg  italian dressing mix

* Cook spaghetti according to package directions; drain. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the beef, Italian dressing, onion and garlic over medium heat until beef is no longer pink, 6-8 minutes, breaking up beef into crumbles; drain. Stir in the spaghetti sauce, salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Do not need to cook marinara sauce if you want sauce runnier.
* Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, mix cream cheese and sour cream until blended; stir in green onions. In a greased 11x7-in. baking dish, layer the sauce, spaghetti, cheese mixture. Repeating until all used. Top with shredded cheese.
Bake, covered, at 350° for 25 minutes. Uncover; bake until cheese is bubbly, 5-10 minutes longer.

Test Kitchen Tips
A Monterey, California, businessman named David Jacks made Monterey Jack cheese popular in the late 1800s by shipping it to San Francisco and other areas of the U.S.
To keep pasta from sticking together when cooking, use a large pot with plenty of water. Add a little cooking oil if desired (this also prevents boiling over).
