Cook spaghetti in salted boiling water until al dente, 9 to 10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain and set aside.

Heat a large deep skillet over medium high. Add 1 tbsp butter and a little olive oil if needed, then add ground beef. Cook 5 to 7 minutes, breaking it up, until browned. Drain extra grease.

Add onion and cook 3 to 4 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook about 30 seconds.

Add remaining 2 tbsp butter, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir 1 minute so the beef gets coated in garlic butter.

Pour in cream and broth or pasta water. Stir, scraping the bottom, and simmer 3 to 4 minutes until slightly thickened.

Turn heat to low. Stir in cheddar a handful at a time until melted, then add Parmesan and stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy. If it gets too thick, add a splash of pasta water. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Add cooked spaghetti to the skillet. Toss 2 to 3 minutes until every strand is coated in the cheesy garlic butter sauce.

Let sit off the heat a couple of minutes so the sauce clings.
