Preheat the oven to 190°C. Coat a 9×13 pan with cooking spray.
Cook one pan of spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Heat the beef or veal in a large skillet over medium heat. Break up the meat with a spatula while it
cooks.
Add the chopped onion to the pan and fry for a few minutes until soft. Add
taco seasoning mix, stir, and cook for one minute until fragrant.
Add the salsa to the pan and stir to combine. Let it sit for a few minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese. Add salt and
pepper. Mix until well combined.
Distribute half of the spaghetti mixture evenly on the prepared plate.
Pour half of the taco meat mixture over the spaghetti in the baking dish.

to 25 minutes.
Remove the bread and bake for another 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and brown.
