TikTok Spaghetti {Super Viral Spaghetti} Gonna Want Seconds (2024)

This TikTok spaghetti is meaty, super cheesy, and has a delicious red sauce, and an easy Alfredo-like sauce. This has to be one of the most comforting spaghetti recipe ever made. This trendy recipe has been blowing up on TikTok. One bite of this dish and you’ll know why. Say hello to your new favorite spaghetti recipe!

If your family loves spaghetti recipes as much as mine does, try my million dollar spaghetti, baked spaghetti, and baked spaghetti with cream cheese. All of these are baked casserole-style kinds of spaghetti that have different variations that your family will love.

TikTok Spaghetti Ingredients

Red Sauce:

• Olive Oil: I use EVOO.
• Onion: Yellow onion.
• Green Bell Pepper: I like the flavor of the sauce with just 1/2 a bell pepper. You can add more if you’d like. You can also use any color bell pepper you’d like.
• Garlic: Use fresh garlic, not the kind that comes already minced in a jar. The jarred stuff has a funky taste.
• Ground Beef: I use 80/20 ground beef. Sometimes I switch it out and use Italian sausage.
• Italian Seasoning: I like McCormick Perfect Pinch Italian Seasoning.
• Spaghetti Sauce: You can use your favorite commercial brand. My family likes Classico brand 4 cheese. If you have time, try making my homemade Marinara sauce.

Pasta:

• Spaghetti: My favorite brand is Barilla.

Alfredo Sauce:

• Butter: You can use salted or unsalted.
• Garlic:
• Flour: I use just 1 tablespoon to thicken the sauce up a little.
• Cream: Use heavy cream.
• Parmesan: It’s best to either grate your own or use the fresh grated Parm from the deli section. Skip the stuff in the green cylinder.

Topping:

• Mozzarella: Shred it yourself for the best result. The stuff that comes in a bag already shredded is coated with cellulose and simply isn’t as creamy.

Storing + Freezing + Make Ahead

• How Long Can You Keep This In The Fridge? This tiktok viral spaghetti will store in the fridge for 3-4 days. I suggest storing it in a glass or ceramic container due to the tomato-based sauce.
• Can You Freeze This? Yes, but remember the pasta’s texture will become much softer and some of the sauce will be absorbed into the pasta. You can freeze it prior to baking or freeze the leftovers. If you’re freezing before baking, make sure you freeze in a freezer and oven-safe baking dish. Allow it to warm up a bit on the counter before popping it in the oven.
  • If you’re cooking from frozen, it will take at least twice as long to bake.
• Make-Ahead Tips:Baked spaghetti is a great make-ahead dish. Simply assemble according to the direction, but instead of putting it in the oven, wrap it well with cling wrap or a tight-fitting lid and put it in the fridge!
  • When you’re ready for hot from the oven spaghetti, bake and serve. The baking time will be increased slightly if it is coming straight from the fridge.
• Food Safety: If you’d like more info on food safety check out this link.

Serving Recommendations

This is delicious with a simple salad tossed with my super easy balsamic vinaigrette or my fully loaded Mediterranean salad. It’s also wonderful with my ever-fluffy Olive Garden breadsticks,garlic bread, or easy beer bread.
