TikTok Spaghetti Recipe
Spaghetti is a classic and easy dinner staple for many. Recently, a one-pot spaghetti recipe has gone viral on TikTok, receiving millions of views and likes. This simple yet tasty spaghetti recipe uses both spaghetti sauce and alfredo sauce while cooking the pasta in the sauce requiring just about 15 minutes from start to finish to make this TikTok Spaghetti. Make the viral TikTok spaghetti all in one pot with no drain pasta, hamburger, marinara sauce, and alfredo sauce if you want the best spaghetti ever.
Spaghetti seems like a fairly easy dinner to make. I have a spaghetti and meatball recipe even Garfield would love. While one of the viral TikTok spaghetti recipes does not mix the sauces but rather makes a baked spaghetti. But this is a creamy spaghetti recipe that is made all in one pot and no baking is necessary like my 3 cheese baked spaghetti.
Ingredients for Viral TikTok Spaghetti with Alfredo
If your family loves spaghetti and chicken alfredo, then you probably have the ingredients for this one-pot creamy spaghetti recipe in your pantry.
- Ground Beef – Hamburger is the go-to for spaghetti. Italian Sausage or ground pork or turkey can also work. I also love a combination of pork and beef.
- Spaghetti Sauce – Whether you make your marinara sauce or you buy a jar of spaghetti sauce, you will want 3 cups of sauce.
- Alfedo sauce – This easy homemade alfredo sauce can be used or make your life easy with the store bought alfredo sauce.
- Spaghetti – Thin spaghetti and normal spaghetti both work in this recipe. Thin will cook a tad bit faster and will not need quite as much water
- Onions
- Garlic
- Italian Seasoning – Italian seasoning or Good Seasons Italian Dressing mix is what I love to use to bring even more flavor to my spaghetti.

Instructions for How to Make TikTok Spaghetti
Begin making this easy TikTok Spaghetti recipe by heating up a large Dutch Oven on the stovetop over medium heat.
Begin by browning the ground beef. Cook the ground beef until it is almost completely browned, then stir in the onions and garlic.
When the onions are just beginning to become translucent, drain any fat off the meat and then add the tomato sauce. Top with the dry spaghetti noodles.
Add water to the pan until the spaghetti is just covered. Then pour in the alfredo sauce.
Bring to a boil. Cover the Dutch oven and let simmer for about 10 minutes. Stir gently several times during this ten minutes. After 10 minutes stir in the parmesan cheese.
The liquid may not all be absorbed when the noodles are done cooking. Turn off the heat and let the spaghetti rest. Make sure the pasta and meat sauce are mixed well by stirring the spaghetti. Serve with English muffin garlic bread and parmesan cheese.
Hint: For an even creamier spaghetti double the alfredo sauce or add a cup of milk or heavy cream in place of one cup of water.
Variations
Change up the spaghetti recipe with these variations and add-ins to the base spaghetti recipe.
- Add veggies – Stir in diced zucchini, spinach, broccoli, or roasted red peppers for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Use different cheeses – Substitute cheddar, gruyere, brie, or feta for some or all of the Parmesan.
- Meat lovers – Add crumbled sausage, bacon, prosciutto, chicken, or shrimp right in the sauce.
- Smoky flavor – Add a dash of smoked paprika to the sauce.
- Herby twist – Stir in fresh basil, oregano, thyme, or rosemary at the end.
- Spice it up – Incorporate red pepper flakes, cayenne, or black pepper for a kick or extra spicy spaghetti.
- Creamy extras – Mix in mascarpone, ricotta, heavy cream, or cream cheese for an ultra-rich sauce.

Storage
Store the leftovers in a microwave safe bowl and eat the leftover spaghetti for up to three days. If the spaghetti is a little dry, stir a tablespoon of water into the spaghetti.
Top tip
For even creamier spaghetti replace one cup of half and half cream for one cup of water.
FAQ
Mixing marinara sauce and alfredo sauce together is the only way I make spaghetti now. The combination makes a creamy spaghetti sauce.
If you want to doctor up the alfredo sauce, add 2 ounces of cream cheese and a quarter cup of cream to the jarred alfredo mix. To make it more garlicky, add a teaspoon of garlic powder or two garlic cloves minced.

Ok, making this now, maybe I missed something. When do you add the speghetti noodles, pepper and some of the parm cheese? I donโt see anything about those items except at the end to add more of the cheese. It never says when to add it initially. Help!
Add the parmesan cheese after the pasta cooks in the sauces for 10 minutes. Add pepper to your taste at the same time.
