Creamy, cheesy, unapologetic comfort food.
Oftentimes pasta is a great solution for a quick and reasonably healthy meal. This Cream Cheese Chicken Spaghetti is quick, but you can’t really call it health food. Not by a long shot! No, this is guilty pleasure comfort food through and through – it’s spaghetti in an easy but irresistibly creamy sauce (hello Velvetta!) that’s baked under a blanket of ooey-gooey cheddar and it is SO well worth the occasional indulgence.
