I’m part Italian, which is probably why I could truly eat pasta every night of the week and never get sick of it. Penne alla vodka, carbonara, fettuccine alfredo – you name it, I’ll eat it! So when I came across this recipe for bacon cream cheese baked spaghetti, I basically started drooling instantly. This recipe is loaded with crumbled bacon, whipped cream cheese, mozzarella, and other delicious flavors.

This recipe is courtesy of the blog This Is Not Diet Food. And judging from the ingredients in this pasta recipe, I’d say that’s certainly true. But, as every food lover knows, every meal you eat doesn’t need to be 100% healthy. While it’s important to eat a balanced diet, part of that balance is eating foods that bring you joy and comfort from time to time.

Because this is a baked pasta, it ends up being super cheesy and has the perfect amount of crispiness and crunch. This is a simple-to-prepare recipe that can be tossed together in one casserole dish and served up with minimal effort. This recipe is definitely bound to be a family favorite, and would also be a great dish to bring to a potluck.
