Cook the spaghetti: Cook the spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the meat sauce: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and diced onion until browned. Add garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir in the marinara sauce and simmer for 5 minutes.
Make the creamy mixture: In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese, sour cream, and ricotta cheese until smooth. Add the cooked spaghetti and toss to coat evenly.

For extra flavor, use spicy Italian sausage instead of ground beef. This dish can be assembled ahead of time and baked later.
