1. In a large skillet, sauté the chopped onion in the light Italian dressing over medium heat until they become tender-crisp.

6. Remove the Bolognese sauce from the heat.
7. Incorporate the reduced-fat cream cheese into the sauce. Stir until the cream cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
8. Drain the cooked spaghetti and transfer it to a large serving bowl.
