Ingredients
Scale
Meat Sauce
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- 1/2 pcs Yellow Onion, chopped
- 1 tbsp Garlic, minced
- 24 ounces Pasta Sauce
- 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Spaghetti & Alfredo Sauce
- 1 pound Spaghetti Noodles
- 1 stick Butter
- 2 cups Heavy Cream
- 1 pinch Pepper, to taste
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
Topping
- 2 cups Mozzarella, shredded
Garnish
- 1 tbsp Fresh Chopped Parsley, optional
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare it for baking the assembled spaghetti dish later.
- Cook Meat Sauce: In a saucepan, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion becomes translucent. Drain excess grease from the pan and return the meat mixture back to the pan.
- Add Sauce and Seasoning: Stir in the pasta sauce and Italian seasoning with the cooked meat. Mix well and set the meat sauce aside to keep warm.
- Cook Spaghetti: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti noodles and cook until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare Alfredo Sauce: In a separate pan, melt the stick of butter over medium heat. Add the heavy cream, garlic powder, and a pinch of pepper, then simmer the mixture gently. Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Combine Spaghetti and Alfredo: Toss the cooked spaghetti noodles with the prepared Alfredo sauce until evenly coated.
- Assemble the Dish: Transfer the Alfredo-coated spaghetti into a baking dish, spreading it into an even layer. Pour the prepared meat sauce evenly over the spaghetti layer. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously on top.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes or until the mozzarella is melted and lightly golden.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the baked spaghetti from the oven and garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your creamy, cheesy TikTok Spaghetti dish.
Notes
- Using freshly grated Parmesan cheese yields the best flavor and texture in the Alfredo sauce.
- Make sure to cook spaghetti just to al dente to avoid overcooking during baking.
- Drain excess grease from the meat to prevent a heavy or oily sauce.
- Feel free to add vegetables like mushrooms or spinach to the meat sauce for added nutrition.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
