THE BEST BAKED ALFREDO SPAGHETTI
This is an amazingly cheese-rich dish. I love making this to take to friends' homes as a drop off meal. It gets rave reviews every time! The recipe is adapted from a restaurant in the Mall of America called Tucci Benucch. I attended the restaurant at a business meeting and they gave us a recipe for the baked spaghetti that I have made a few changes to. My husband prefers it without the marinara/meatball topping, but if you're looking to stretch the recipe that's a great way to do it.

SPAGHETTI-ALFREDO PASTA SAUCE

Steps:
- Follow directions on box to make pasta noodles.
- (You can use any kind of pasta noodles you want, such as shells or spirals, but I use penne because I think the sauce sticks well to the penne pasta.).
- As for the pasta sauce --
- Turn stove on to medium heat and add oil in a medium-sized pot.
- Once the oil is hot, saute the minced garlic until light brown.
- Once the garlic is light brown, pour Ragu spaghetti sauce and Classico alfredo sauce into the pot.
- Stir the sauces together to make a beautiful orange colored sauce.
- Turn heat up to medium-high until the sauce boils.
- Turn heat back down to medium and add salt and pepper to taste. (I usually do not add very much, just a few pinches of each.)
- (Optional!) Add crushed red pepper to add a spicy kick to the sauce. If you want you can add more or less, it is really up to you!
- Serve pasta noodles on plates and pour sauce over each serving. (I would not recommend mixing the pasta into the sauce until it is ready to serve because the noodles will get soggy.).
- Enjoy! =O.
