1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook 1–2 minutes less than package instructions. Drain and set aside.

2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef. Drain any excess fat.

3. Stir in the marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let simmer for 5–7 minutes.

4. In a mixing bowl, combine the warm spaghetti with softened cream cheese until evenly coated.

5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.

6. Layer half of the cream cheese spaghetti in the dish, then top with half of the meat sauce. Repeat layers.

7. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over the top.

8. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 10 minutes, until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

9. Let it rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired.
