This creamy cheesy spaghetti is a staple in my house because it is so quick to put together. It is the ultimate comfort food for nights when you are tired but still want to serve a warm meal that makes the whole family smile.

My kids absolutely love the rich and melted cheese sauce. If you want to add some extra flavor, you can stir in a little bit of garlic powder or some fresh herbs right before serving.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces spaghetti
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to the package directions.

  2. 2

    While the pasta cooks, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat.

  3. 3

    Whisk the heavy cream, salt, and pepper into the butter until the mixture is warm.

  4. 4

    Slowly stir in the cheddar and parmesan cheeses until the sauce is smooth and melted.

  5. 5

    Drain the pasta and return it to the pot.

  6. 6

    Pour the cheese sauce over the hot spaghetti and toss well until every strand is coated.

  7. 7

    Serve immediately while hot.

💡 Tips

Serve this dish with a side of steamed broccoli or a fresh green salad to balance the richness. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days and add a splash of milk when reheating to bring back the creaminess.
