Alfredo Spaghetti with Meatballs
This Alfredo Spaghetti with Meatballs is a creamy twist on a classic. Juicy homemade beef meatballs are seasoned and pan-seared, then simmered in a rich Alfredo sauce made from garlic, cream, cream cheese, and Parmesan. The spaghetti soaks up the garlicky, cheesy sauce, and everything comes together with a handful of parsley and a generous dusting of Parm. Perfect for meatball lovers who want to skip the red sauce but keep all the flavor.
