SPAGHETTI ALFREDO BAKE A TikTok Viral Recipe

Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

Add 1/2 tablespoon of salt to the boiling water.

Add 12 to 16 oz of spaghetti to the pot and stir for about 30 seconds to prevent sticking.

Cook spaghetti according to package directions until al dente, then drain and leave in the pot.

In a large skillet, brown 1 pound of Italian ground sausage, breaking it up with a meat chopper.

Add 1 diced bell pepper and 1/2 diced onion to the skillet and cook until softened.

Drain any excess grease from the skillet if necessary, then add 24 oz of pasta sauce to the sausage mixture.

Add 1/4 cup of water to the empty pasta sauce jar, shake, and pour into the skillet.

Stir in 1 tablespoon of butter, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning into the sauce mixture.

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed, then set aside.

In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 stick (1/2 cup) of butter.

Sprinkle in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour and whisk for 1 minute.

Slowly whisk in 16 oz of heavy whipping cream and allow to thicken.

Stir in 1 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese until melted, adding black pepper and garlic powder to taste.

Turn off the heat and pour the Alfredo sauce over the cooked spaghetti, tossing to coat.

Spray a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and pour the spaghetti Alfredo into it.

Pour the sausage pasta sauce evenly over the spaghetti.

Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese on top, followed by 1/4 to 1/2 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese.

Place the baking dish in a preheated oven at 350°F uncovered for 20 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 to 8 minutes before serving.
