Ingredients
1 pound ground porkless Italian sausage
1/2 cup diced onion (optional)
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 cups beef broth or water
1 (24-ounce) jar marinara sauce
8 ounces uncooked spaghetti
8 ounces softened cream cheese (room temperature)
1 cup cottage cheese (2% milk or nonfat)
1/4 cup sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)
Instructions
Brown the sausage: In a large deep skillet, cook the sausage and onion over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain excess fat.
Add garlic and liquids: Stir in garlic, then add broth and marinara. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently.
Cook the noodles: Add uncooked spaghetti to the pot. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover slightly, and simmer for 15-18 minutes, stirring often until pasta is tender.
Finish with cream: Remove from heat. Add cream cheese, cottage cheese, and sour cream, stirring until fully incorporated. For a silky sauce, briefly return to medium heat and whisk.
Adjust consistency: Add more broth, water, or milk as needed for your preferred texture.
Notes
Substitute sausage with ground beef, chicken, or plant-based crumbles.
Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a tangier flavor.
Optional onion: omit for a simpler base.
