TikTok Spaghetti Recipe

I tried the TikTok Spaghetti recipe for the first time last week, and I can honestly say it’s now my go-to comfort food. The combination of creamy Alfredo, tangy marinara, and gooey cheese is irresistible. I love how simple it is to make, yet it looks like you spent hours in the kitchen. Every bite is cheesy, hearty, and utterly satisfying.
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients
  

  • Spaghetti pasta – 12 oz cooks perfectly al dente; don’t overcook, as it bakes in the oven too
  • Ground beef – 1 lb adds a savory, meaty flavor; drain excess fat to avoid greasiness
  • Marinara sauce – 2 cups I love store-bought for convenience; choose a quality brand for the best flavor
  • Alfredo sauce – 1 cup adds creamy richness; store-bought works great, or try homemade for extra indulgence
  • Mozzarella cheese – 1 ½ cups shredded freshly shredded melts better than pre-shredded
  • Parmesan cheese – ½ cup grated adds a sharp, salty kick to balance the creamy sauces

Method
 

  1. Boil the spaghetti noodles until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside. The noodles will absorb the sauce flavors during baking.
  2. While the pasta cooks, brown the ground beef in a skillet. Drain excess grease, then stir in the marinara sauce for a rich, flavorful layer.
  3. In a baking dish, layer half the spaghetti, half the beef mixture, and half the Alfredo sauce. Sprinkle half the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top. Repeat the layers for maximum cheesy goodness.
  4. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden. Let it rest for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Top with fresh basil or a sprinkle of extra Parmesan for a professional touch. Serve warm for the ultimate comfort meal.

Notes

  • I always cook the spaghetti al dente, so it doesn’t get mushy after baking.
  • Draining the beef is essential to prevent a greasy casserole.
  • I like layering the cheese evenly for the perfect gooey pull in every bite.
  • Letting it rest a few minutes after baking enhances the flavor blend.
