Creating Alfredo Baked Spaghetti is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cook Spaghetti: In a large pot, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. Make Alfredo Sauce: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Add Cheese: Gradually add the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese to the cream mixture, stirring until melted and smooth.
6. Combine Spaghetti and Sauce: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti with the Alfredo sauce. Toss until the spaghetti is well coated.
7. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the spaghetti mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
8. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle extra mozzarella cheese on top for a deliciously cheesy crust.
9. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
10. Cool Slightly: Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
