Ingredients and Substitutions
This baked spaghetti has two layers, a tomato meat sauce and easy homemade alfredo sauce.
Tomato Meat Sauce
Ground Meat- Any ground meat would be delicious, beef, turkey, chicken, or Italian pork sausage.
Vegetables & Spices - Fresh chopped garlic, onion, and sweet peppers are best. Any of these vegetables can be omitted if you prefer. Add your favorite dried herbs or spice blends for an extra delicious meat sauce.
Pasta Sauce - Add your favorite brand and flavor, I like a classic marinara.
Homemade Alfredo Sauce
Butter - Unsalted is best to control the sodium.
Cream- Heavy whipping cream is used to easily make a quick alfredo sauce.
Cheese - Grated parmesan and whole milk mozzarella. To save time I used pre-shredded cheeses but shredding it from the block is better.
Pasta - Spaghetti is best, but you can substitute your favorite long or short pasta and it will still be delicious
Tips and Suggestions
Cook the spaghetti while making the alfredo sauce. So you can easily mix them together in the 9x13 baking pan. Preheat the oven as well.
Don’t overcook the spaghetti noodles. Stick to the package directions and cook to al dente or minus 2-3 minutes.
For the best results use block cheeses and not pre-shredded. It tastes and melts better.
Use a combination of seasoned meats like Italian sausage and ground beef for an amazing meaty flavor.
If you want to save time use a good quality jarred alfredo sauce instead of making it.
