What You Will Need

For Meat Sauce

Ground Beef: It adds a rich savory flavor to spaghetti recipes, I prefer ground beef with a little bit of fat component that will make it more juicy. The ratio of meat to fat should be 80/20.

Marinara Sauce: A marinara sauce will provide the base for the meat sauce along with enhancing the color of the meat sauce. I am using homemade marinara sauce for a rich flavor and luscious texture.

Olive Oil: Sauteing the onion and garlic in olive oil will enhance the overall taste of the meat sauce.

Garlic: The aroma of garlic in meat sauce eliminates the odor of ground meat.

Onion: The sweetness of onion compliments the recipe by balancing the savory notes from ground meat and hot, and tangy notes from marinara sauce.

Italian Seasoning: Italian seasoning makes the meat sauce a perfect sauce for spaghetti, a blend of thyme, oregano, basil, and rosemary adds a delightful aroma and kick to the sauce.

For Alfredo Sauce

Butter: I am using unsalted butter to form the base of Alfredo sauce.

Flour: All-purpose flour with butter is used to thicken the Alfredo sauce. The flour will maintain a thick consistency in the sauce.

Heavy Cream: It is the primary ingredient in Alfredo sauce, heavy cream adds cheesy richness to the sauce.

Spices: I am using salt black pepper powder, garlic powder, and onion powder to spice up the Alfredo sauce.

For Pasta & Topping

Spaghetti: The spaghetti pasta is the main ingredient in the recipe. You can switch it to any type of pasta that you like.

Mozzarella: I am using a block of mozzarella cheese, and shred it to use in Alfredo sauce and in top layering. You can use shredded cheese for topping.

Step By Step Directions

Step1-Prepare Meat Sauce

Take a pan and pour olive oil into it, heat olive oil over low flame.
Then add chopped onion and garlic to the pan.
Saute them until translucent.
Add ground beef to the pan and cook it until it changes color.
Then pour homemade marinara sauce into the pan and mix them to well combine.
Cook it for 5-7 minutes after adding Italian seasoning to it.
Turn off the heat and set it aside for later use.

Step2- Boil Pasta

Fill a wide pan half with water, and let it boil over medium flame.
Once the water boiled, add spaghetti and cook it until 80% done.
Then drain the excess water and rinse them under fresh water to stop the cooking process.
Set them aside for late use.

Step3- Prepare Alfredo Sauce

In another pan, melt the butter then add all-purpose flour to it.
Stir it well for a minute.
Turn off the heat, and pour heavy cream into the pan.
Make sure to continuously stir while adding the cream to avoid lumps.
Again turn on the flame and add mozzarella cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and black pepper powder to the pan.
Melt it over low flame.

Step4- Mix Alfredo and Pasta

Now toss the boiled spaghetti in Alfredo sauce.
Make sure each string is coated well in the sauce.

Step5- Layer in Casserole

Grease the casserole and spread the spaghetti into the casserole.
Then layer the top with prepared meat sauce.
Finally, cover the top with shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step6- Bake

Place the casserole into 177°C preheated oven.
Bake for 30 minutes or until the cheese melts into crispy golden layer.
Let it cool down for 5 minutes.
Then garnish with fresh basil and enjoy.

Tips That Will Help

Don’t cook spaghetti 100%, take it off from flame and rinse with water when it is 80% done. Otherwise, it becomes mushy after baking.
To drain off the excess grease make space in the pan by moving the meat to side and then place a paper towel to soak the excess grease.
Make sure to not mix the layers while spreading the sauce and spaghetti in the casserole.
