Description
A rich, cheesy, layered baked spaghetti inspired by TikTok, combining marinara, Alfredo sauce, ground beef, and plenty of gooey cheese for the ultimate comfort-food pasta dish.
Ingredients
16 ounces spaghetti, cooked al dente
1 pound lean ground beef
1 jar (about 24 ounces) marinara sauce
1 jar (about 15 ounces) Alfredo sauce
16 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the spaghetti until al dente, then drain.
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
- Stir the marinara sauce into the cooked beef and let it simmer briefly.
- In a large baking dish, layer half of the spaghetti, half of the marinara–beef mixture, half of the Alfredo sauce, and half of the mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
Notes
Use Italian sausage instead of ground beef for a bolder flavor.
Add red pepper flakes for subtle heat.
Stir ricotta into the spaghetti for extra creaminess.
Add sautéed mushrooms or bell peppers for more vegetables.
