• Heavy Cream: It gives the Alfredo sauce its luxuriously smooth texture.
  
• Parmesan Cheese: Freshly grated Parmesan cheese adds a nutty, salty, and slightly sharp flavor to the Alfredo sauce.
  
• Shredded Mozzarella Cheese: It creates a gooey, melted layer on top of the casserole.
  
• Fresh Basil or Parsley for Garnish: A sprinkle of fresh basil or parsley adds a pop of color.

How to Make TikTok Spaghetti

This spaghetti went viral for a reason! It’s so easy to make.

1. Prep the oven and cook the pasta. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Boil salted water, cook the spaghetti until al dente, and drain well.

2. Cook the onion and beef. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened. Add the ground beef and cook until browned.

3. Add the seasonings and sauce. Add the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and chili flakes to the beef. Cook until fragrant, add the marinara sauce, and simmer for 10-15 minutes.

4. Prepare the Alfredo sauce. In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, add the minced garlic, and cook for 1 minute. Add the heavy cream, and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

5. Whisk in the Parmesan. Remove from the heat and whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until smooth.

6. Combine the spaghetti and Alfredo. In a large baking dish, mix the cooked spaghetti with Alfredo sauce until evenly coated.

7. Add the meat sauce and cheese. Pour the meat sauce over the Alfredo spaghetti. Spread evenly, and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

8. Bake the dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. Optionally, broil for 2-3 minutes for a golden brown top.

9. Rest and serve. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired. Enjoy!

Tips for the Best TikTok Spaghetti

These simple tips will make your pasta even better.

• Select your favorite sauce. For convenience, you can use store-bought marinara sauce. Or, make your own homemade sauce for a more customized flavor.
  
• Go wild with garlic. For maximum flavor, don’t skimp on the garlic in both the meat sauce and Alfredo sauce.
  
• Spice it up. Add some red chili flakes to the meat sauce for a nice kick of heat, if desired.
  
• Make it bubbly. After baking, broil the spaghetti for 2-3 minutes to get an irresistibly golden brown, bubbly cheese topping.
  
• Give it a rest. Allow the baked TikTok Spaghetti to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving so the layers can set up.
  
• Vary it up. Try using Italian sausage instead of ground beef or adding sautéed mushrooms or bell peppers to the sauce. You can also switch up the cheeses with options like cheddar or feta for different flavors.
  
• Make it a feast. To complement the rich and creamy pasta, serve with a fresh salad, garlic bread, or roasted vegetables.

How to Store

If you have leftover spaghetti, keep it fresh with these tips.

To Store: Place leftovers in an air-tight container and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days. Make sure the spaghetti has cooled completely before storing to prevent condensation.

To Freeze: Freezing may alter its texture, particularly the pasta’s consistency. But if you need to freeze it, store it in an air-tight, freezer-safe container for up to 2-3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.

To Reheat: For best results, reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 20-30 minutes or until heated through. Or, microwave individual portions in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until hot.
