This Red and White Pasta is my new go-to recipe when I want something quick. Normally, spaghetti falls into that category. But even that is a struggle for my Preston who doesn’t like many tomato-based meals such as lasagna and spaghetti. Crazy kid. But he likes this meal and I like it better than spaghetti so it’s a winner. We normally don’t add any meat to this, but you can add ground beef or shredded chicken if you want. Or you could use the spaghetti sauce with meat in it. Serve it along a salad and garlic bread and you’re good to go.
I cannot tell you how delicious this is. The combo of the spaghetti and Alfredo sauces is just perfect.

Sounds wonderful! Love your photo…the dish and the fork are so eye-grabbing!!!! VERY nice Mandy.
I love pasta with Red sauce and Alfredo sauce mixed together It's kind of like mixing ketchup and mayo together so yummy!<br />I agree beautiful photo!
I agree about with Preston on the whole sauce thing! I have found that adding a little bit (or alot!) of sour cream to the sauce takes the acid-y edge off the sauce. It's great on 'sketti' too!
Oh yes please. This looks wonderful!
What a great kid-friendly dish! I'll have to try it on mine.<br /><br />I agree with Fiddlesticks – ketchup and mayo are an awesome combo!
