Tiktok is an intrical part of my business as a blogger. I share a lot more video content there than I do on my blog or any other platform. If you use Tiktok you know that everyone post their recipes, experiences, travel and much more to tiktok.
I love Tiktok for so many reasons. But especially to see some of the cool food trends. If you aren’t following me on Tiktok, you’re missing out. Follow here
Recently I saw a version of this Tiktok Pasta dish.
This pasta dish combines two of my kids absolutely favorite things. Alfredo pasta and Meat Sauce.
I knew I had to make my version and see if my kids will like it.

- Add in the italian seasoning. Stir.
- Add in the fresh basil. Stir.
- Add the ground beef back to the pot. Stir. *Depending on how saucy you want your meat sauce you may not need it all. I didn’t use all of the ground beef.*
- Allow the sauce to cook on a low to medium heat for about 15 – 20 minutes.
- Boil the pasta once the water is boiling. Prepare according to the packaging.
- Once the pasta is cooked. Drain the pasta. Set aside.
- Add the alfredo sauce to the pot. Stirring often.
- Once the alfredo sauce is hot. Stir in the pasta. *I didn’t use all of the pasta. You want the pasta to be saucy.*
- Turn off the fire once you stir in the pasta.
- Taste the meat sauce. Add in the additional seasoning. *I did, because I found that the Spicy Red Sauce was a little sweet.
- Now it’s time to plate. Put a generous amount of Alfredo Pasta in the bowl.
- Top with the Meat Sauce.
- Garnish with fresh parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
- Enjoy.
