Ingredients

Scale

12 oz spaghetti
1 lb lean ground beef
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
1 small onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 cup vegetable broth
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese

Instructions

Step: Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step: In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and brown the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, and garlic powder.
Step: Add diced onions to the skillet and sauté until translucent (about 3-4 minutes). Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Step: Sprinkle flour over the meat mixture and stir well. Gradually whisk in vegetable broth, then slowly add heavy cream while whisking until smooth.
Step: Reduce heat to low and mix in Cheddar, Parmesan, and Mozzarella cheeses until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Step: Toss cooked spaghetti into the sauce until evenly coated and serve hot.

Notes

Ensure all cheeses are shredded or grated finely to ensure a smooth, silky sauce consistency. If the sauce becomes too thick, stir in an additional splash of vegetable broth.
