Ingredients
Scale
Red Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup onion, chopped
- ½ cup green bell pepper, ribs and seeds removed, chopped
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20)
- 1 ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 ½ (24-ounce) jars spaghetti sauce
Instructions
-
Cook the Red Sauce:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour in the spaghetti sauce and stir to combine. Reduce the heat and let it simmer while you cook the pasta.
-
Cook the Pasta:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, about 9-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
-
Make the Alfredo Sauce:
- In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Slowly whisk in the heavy cream, ensuring no lumps form. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then stir in the Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses. Cook until the sauce is smooth and creamy, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Combine the Sauce and Pasta:
- Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet with the red sauce and toss to coat.
- Pour the Alfredo sauce over the pasta and toss everything together until well mixed.
-
Serve:
- Serve the TikTok Spaghetti hot, and garnish with extra Parmesan or fresh herbs, if desired.
Notes
- Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini to the red sauce for extra flavor.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes to the red sauce.
- For a shortcut, you can use store-bought Alfredo sauce instead of making it from scratch.
