Notes

Again a basic recipe.
One can add so many things here:
  • Cooked Chicken
  • Chopped Ham
  • Crumpled Bacon
  • Green Peas
  • Grated Mozzarella cheese
  • Pepper Flake
Service has many options; I dumped the pasta alfredo into a baking dish, covered it with bread crumbs, and baked until the sauce was bubbling and the crumbs were brown.
