    Recipe Tips and Tricks

    Sauce: Don’t like using jars of pasta sauce or Alfredo sauce? Use your own favorite recipes for this.

    Add in protein: To make this dish a bit more filling add in some Italian sausage, hot Italian sausage, grilled chicken, or shrimp.

    Pasta: Seriously, any type of pasta will work for this recipe but sometimes we don’t always have penne pasta on hand. Try bowtie or some other fun shaped pasta.

    How to make TWO TIMING PASTA BAKE

    Cook pasta according to directions and drain. Mix the sauces together in a large bowl.

    Add the mozzarella and stir to combine. Then toss in the penne and toss to coat.

    Pour pasta into 9x13 baking dish and cook on 350 for 20-25 minutes or until bubbly. Remove from oven and sprinkle with shredded parmesan cheese and bake for another 5 minutes.

    Serving size: 1 cup

      So simple & delicious!!
      I use Signature brand Alfredo sauce & Classico garlic spaghetti sauce!
      I brown some ground beef with minced garlic, onion powder, basil, salt, pepper & an Italian seasoning blend.
      I cook red lentil pasta for this recipe as well.
      I mix it all together with some ricotta cheese & mozzarella shredded cheese and put it in the baking dish. Topped with more mozzarella. YUM!!
