An alternative to traditional spaghetti or fettucine alfredo

Ingredients

8 ounces Penne pasta, cooked and drained

1/2 pound Ground beef, cooked and drained (add some spices while cooking if desired)

1 26-ounce Jar of your favorite pasta sauce (or about 3 cups of your homemade sauce)

2 c. Mozzarella cheese, shredded (you can also add a little parmesan cheese if you have it on hand)

Parsley, dried or fresh and chopped

Salt and Pepper to taste

Preparation

* Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

* In a large bowl, mix together cooked pasta, beef, sauce and 1 c. of the shredded cheese.

* Place pasta mixture into baking dish and cover with lid or aluminum foil. Bake for 30-35 minutes.

* Take dish out of the oven and remove cover, top with remaining 1 c. of shredded cheese and sprinkle with parsley. Bake for another 8-10 minutes.

Makes 4-6 servings. This recipe can be double easily and cooked in a 10x13 baking pan.

Cook's Notes

I'm planning to try it with chicken and bacon and roasted garlic alfredo sauce to replicate a favorite restaurant recipe.
