Add 4 cups of water to a pot and season with 1 tablespoon of chicken bouillon and seasoned salt.

Cover and bring the water to a boil.

Once boiling, add spaghetti and cook for about 7 minutes.

Drain the spaghetti and set aside to prevent further cooking.

In a skillet, add olive oil and ground beef, cooking until no longer pink.

Drain excess water from the cooked ground beef.

Add onions and minced garlic to the skillet and stir.

Season the mixture with Italian seasoning, pepper flakes, seasoned salt, ground black pepper, Creole seasoning, chicken bouillon, and fresh parsley.

Add Ragu pasta sauce to the skillet and mix well, then cover and simmer for about 10 minutes before setting aside.

In a separate pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and add minced garlic, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add 2 cups of heavy whipping cream and 4 tablespoons of cream cheese to the pan, along with 8 ounces of Parmesan cheese, mixing until combined.

Keep the heat on medium-low and stir until the sauce thickens.

Add the cooked spaghetti to the sauce, ensuring not to rinse the pasta with cold water beforehand.

Grab a baking dish (approximately 12 by 9 inches) and layer the spaghetti at the bottom, followed by the ground beef mixture on top.

Add a generous amount of mozzarella cheese on top of the layers.

Garnish with a sprinkle of dry parsley.

Bake in the oven at 350°F for 20 minutes without covering.

After 20 minutes, turn on the broiler for an additional 5 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
