Instructions for Million Dollar Spaghetti

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Making the Red Sauce First

1. Heat the oil in skillet. Stir in onion and sauce over medium until translucent. Stir in the garlic and continue to saute until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
2. Add ground beef to the skillet and cook over medium heat. Crumble pieces as it cooks until meat is no longer pink. Drain off any grease.
3. Add salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning and spaghetti sauce, and set aside.

Cook Your Pasta

1. Cook pasta according to directions on the package, adding 1 tbsp salt to the water. Drain.

Make Alfredo Sauce

1. In a separate pan, melt butter, add garlic and saute on low until fragrant, about 1 minute. Sprinkle flour over garlic and continue to cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute.
2. Remove from heat and whisk in cream until smooth.
3. Return to heat and stir parmesan cheese into Alfredo Sauce. Gently cook until cheese melts.

Prepare Million Dollar Spaghetti Casserole

1. Add drained pasta to Alfredo Sauce and toss to evenly coat. Spread coated pasta into the prepared baking dish in an even layer.

10. Top pasta with red sauce. Don’t mix the layers.

11. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over top and baked, uncovered, in preheated oven until the cheese is melted and the casserole is bubbly, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle top with Italian seasoning. Serve.

This is definitely a flavorful but simple dish that is perfect for dinner, a potluck or when you’re having company. My husband devoured 2 plates, and my kids ate everything on theirs as well. We saved some for lunches the next day and it was gone by the next afternoon. This is a great comfort food recipe – perfect for this coming fall and winter.
