creaminess? I don't have any half and half and was thinking that maybe a bit of cream cheese added to the spaghetti sauce would make it taste like a mix between traditional red basil sauce and a bit of alfredo sauce. Anyone try this before? Just trying to think of ways to jazz up my meal tonight.

I often use cream cheese in pasta sauces. The one I'm making tonight is sun dried tomato pesto, cream cheese and sour cream then shredded chicken. I have also used it when I've run out of cooking cream. It is so good!

I do a spaghetti casserole kind of thing:
Mix 8 oz cream cheese and 8 oz. sour cream with cooked spaghetti (about 12-14 oz of spaghetti is about right). Then I layer that in a casserold dish, top with meat / sauce, and shredded mozzarella.

I tried it once. That was enough for me to say no way, never again.
