Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spaghetti

    Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Alfredo Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, red chili flakes, and grated Parmesan cheese over medium heat. Stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Meatballs

    In a bowl, mix ground beef, finely chopped green chili, minced garlic, egg, and bread crumbs. Season with salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into small meatballs.

  4. 4

    Cook the Meatballs

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Combine Spaghetti and Sauce

    Toss the cooked spaghetti in the Alfredo sauce until well coated.

  6. 6

    Form the Nests

    Using tongs, take small portions of the spaghetti and twist them into nests on a plate. Place a meatball on top of each nest.

  7. 7

    Drizzle with Chipotle Aioli

    Drizzle chipotle sauce over the spaghetti nests and serve immediately.
