- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20)
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt

Instructions
-
Prepare the Red Sauce:
- In a large skillet or pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
- Add the ground beef to the pan, breaking it up as it cooks. Cook for 6-7 minutes, or until the beef is browned.
- Season with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning, then stir in the spaghetti sauce. Simmer the sauce for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Set aside.
-
Cook the Spaghetti:
- While the red sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the water, then cook the spaghetti according to package instructions (usually about 8-10 minutes for al dente).
- Drain the spaghetti and set aside, keeping it warm.
-
Make the Alfredo Sauce:
- In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Sprinkle the flour over the melted butter, stirring to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the flour is slightly golden.
- Gradually add the heavy cream, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes until it thickens.
- Stir in the Parmesan and mozzarella cheese until melted and smooth. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
-
Assemble the Dish:
- In a large mixing bowl or serving dish, combine the cooked spaghetti and red sauce, tossing to coat the pasta.
- Pour the Alfredo sauce over the top of the spaghetti and gently mix to combine. If desired, you can reserve some Alfredo sauce to drizzle over the top before serving.
-
Serve:
- Serve the TikTok Spaghetti warm with extra Parmesan cheese on top for garnish, and enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness!
Notes
