We know pasta is a favorite of mine and cheese is always a hit in our household! So it would make sense that a cheese pasta recipe would show up here!
We’re adding three cheeses to this recipe and we’re using alfredo sauce here too. I love alfredo sauce but make sure if you’re using a jarred sauce that it is a jarred alfredo sauce that you actually like. Some jarred alfredo sauces are just awful so make sure it’s a good one. We personally like Prego and Bertolli Alfredo sauce in the jar.
