Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray, and set aside. If you haven't already, start cooking 16 ounces (1 pound) spaghetti noodles according to package directions.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 pound ground beef, 1 small onion, finely diced, 1 green bell pepper, finely diced, 2 teaspoons cajun seasoning, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder and 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning. Break up the beef into crumbles and cook, occasionally stirring, until the beef is no longer pink and the veggies have softened, about 10 minutes.

Step 3

Drain any excess grease then stir in 24 ounce jar marinara sauce and reduce the heat to low, simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

While the meat sauce simmers, make the alfredo sauce. In a dutch oven or large stock pot melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 4 cloves garlic, minced and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in 2 cups heavy cream, 2 cups shredded parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Cook until the cheese has melted and the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 6

Add the cooked spaghetti to the alfredo sauce and stir until the noodles are coated in the sauce. Pour this mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Step 7

Top with the meat sauce.

Step 8

Sprinkle 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 Tablespoons shredded parmesan cheese over the top. Bake uncovered for 15 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Step 9

Garnish with 2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes (optional) and serve!
