Spaghetti-Alfredo Pasta Sauce image

I discovered this recipe once by accident when I mixed my alfredo sauce with spaghetti sauce during lunch at school..And it turned out to be amazing and simple at the same time! (This is definitely a great recipe for beginners.) The sauce is a little sweet, creamy, and delicious all at once.

Time 14m

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (15 ounce) can roasted red pepper alfredo sauce (Classico Brand, 1 can, 15 oz)
1 (26 ounce) can chunky garden vegetable spaghetti sauce (Ragu Brand, 1 can, 1 lb 10 oz)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1 teaspoon oil
2 (14 1/2 ounce) boxes penne pasta (I use Ronzoni's Smart Taste penne, it is high in fiber and calcium. However, you can use whichever b)
salt and pepper

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.

THE BEST BAKED ALFREDO SPAGHETTI



The Best Baked Alfredo Spaghetti image

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.

Time 1h45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

cooking spray
1 pound spaghetti
1 pound shredded mozzarella and provolone cheese blend
2 (16 ounce) jars Alfredo sauce (such as Ragu®)
½ cup ricotta cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 eggs
1 (16 ounce) jar marinara sauce, or to taste
1 (16 ounce) package frozen cooked meatballs, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until halfway cooked through, about 6 minutes. Drain.
  • Stir provolone cheese blend, 1 jar Alfredo sauce, drained spaghetti, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and eggs together in a bowl. Pour into prepared baking dish. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbling, 60 to 75 minutes. Remove foil from baking dish and top spaghetti with remaining Alfredo sauce.
  • Stir marinara sauce and meatballs together in a saucepan; bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until meatballs are heated through, 15 to 25 minutes. Spoon meatballs and marinara over baked spaghetti.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Use high-quality Parmesan cheese, cream, and butter.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will help it hold its shape and not become mushy in the sauce.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the pasta, but not so thick that it's heavy. If the sauce is too thin, add more Parmesan cheese or butter. If it's too thick, add a little milk or cream.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as Italian seasoning or paprika.
  • Serve the pasta immediately: Alfredo sauce is best served immediately after it's made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become mushy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Spaghetti Alfredo is a classic pasta dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal. Follow these tips to make the best Spaghetti Alfredo sauce, and you'll be sure to impress your family and friends.
