- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 ½ cups Parmesan cheese

Instructions
-
Make the Red Sauce:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon.
- Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Pour in the spaghetti sauce and stir to combine. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Set aside.
-
Cook the Pasta:
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon of salt. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
-
Make the Alfredo Sauce:
- In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
- Gradually add the heavy cream, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Lower the heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese. Continue stirring until the cheeses are fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
-
Assemble the Dish:
- In a large serving dish, layer the cooked spaghetti.
- Pour the red sauce over the pasta, followed by the Alfredo sauce.
- Mix everything together gently until the pasta is coated with both sauces.
-
Serve:
- Garnish with extra Parmesan and mozzarella cheese if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- For a lighter version, you can substitute ground turkey for the beef and use light cream instead of heavy cream for the Alfredo sauce.
- You can also add extra vegetables like mushrooms or spinach to the red sauce for added flavor and nutrition.
