PREP INGREDIENTS
Bring a large steamer pot of salted water to the boil. Spray a baking dish with oil and set aside. Peel and finely slice the onion. Peel and mince the garlic. Finely dice the capsicum. Grate the parmesan cheese. Roughly chop the parsley.
COOK BEEF
Heat the first measure of oil in a large frypan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and half the garlic and cook for 2-3 mins, until softened. Then add the beef and cook for a further 3-4 mins, until browned, then stir in garlic powder, onion powder, cajun seasoning, Italian herbs and capsicum. Then add the tomatoes and cook uncovered for 5-8 mins, until liquid is reduced.
COOK THE PASTA
Preheat the oven to 180°C fan bake. Meanwhile, add the spaghetti to the pot of boiling water and cook according to packet directions. Drain and pour into the prepared baking dish.
MAKE ALFREDO SAUCE
Heat the second measure of oil in a small pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and flour and cook for 1 min. Then slowly whisk in the coconut cream and parmesan cheese, stirring to combine. Cook, while stirring, for 3-4 mins, until the sauce thickens, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
BAKE BEEF & SPAGHETTI
Pour the alfredo sauce over the pasta in the baking dish, then evenly spoon over the beef mixture. Grate the mozzarella cheese on top and sprinkle with parsley. Then bake in the oven for 15 mins, or until golden and the cheese is melted.
