What Is the Viral TikTok Spaghetti?
This simple pasta features store-bought staples. It begins with a base of creamy, rich Alfredo spaghetti, followed by a layer of hearty meat sauce and plenty of gooey mozzarella cheese. Baked in the oven to bubbly, melty perfection, it’s no wonder why everyone on TikTok is raving over this saucy mashup.
Who is the mastermind behind TikTok spaghetti? While nobody is sure who the first TikTok user was to share this recipe, one of the earliest creators to feature this dish was @mamapeaches5, whose recipe started trending in 2022.
Since going viral, many users have pointed out the recipe’s similarities to million-dollar spaghetti. That recipe can be traced back to 2011 on the blog Ashley Kaitlin and has been reimagined by countless others since then. The main difference between the two is that most million-dollar spaghetti recipes add ricotta, sour cream or cream cheese to the dish, while TikTok spaghetti relies solely on Alfredo sauce to make the creamy base.
