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
Pasta
- 1 pound Spaghetti Noodles
Alfredo Sauce
- 1 stick Butter
- 2 cups Heavy Cream
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 pinch Pepper, to taste
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
Topping
- 2 cups Mozzarella, shredded
- 1 tbsp Fresh Chopped Parsley, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F to prepare for baking the final dish.
- Cook meat sauce: Brown the ground beef in a saucepan, adding the chopped onion and minced garlic and cooking until the onion becomes translucent. Drain any grease and return the meat mixture to the pan.
- Mix sauce: Stir in the pasta sauce and Italian seasoning with the browned meat to create a flavorful meat sauce. Set aside.
- Cook spaghetti: Boil the spaghetti noodles until al dente according to package instructions, then drain.
- Prepare Alfredo sauce: In a pan, melt the butter and add the heavy cream, garlic powder, and pepper. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, then add the grated parmesan cheese and stir until melted and smooth.
- Combine pasta and sauce: Toss the cooked spaghetti noodles with the prepared Alfredo sauce to coat evenly. Transfer this mixture into a baking dish.
- Assemble and bake: Spread the meat sauce evenly over the spaghetti mixture in the baking dish. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot for a comforting and rich meal.
Notes
- Make sure to drain excess grease from the meat to avoid a greasy dish.
- Al dente pasta ensures the noodles hold up well during baking, preventing sogginess.
- You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter sauce, but it may be less creamy.
- Fresh garlic can be used instead of garlic powder for more intense flavor in the Alfredo sauce.
- Adding parsley at the end adds freshness and color, but it is optional.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated, but the baked cheese topping might lose some texture.
