Creamy Baked Ziti

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Cook pasta as instructed by package directions.

While pasta is cooking, prepare the Alfredo sauce. In a large skillet, melt the butter. Then add the cream and stir. Add the Parmesan cheese and whisk until combined. Add the cream cheese and whisk until melted and combined. Finally, add the garlic powder and stir well. Pour sauce into a large bowl. When the pasta is done, pour it over the Alfredo sauce and stir to combine. Put this in a greased 9×13 pan.

In the same skillet you used for the Alfredo sauce, cook the hamburger meat completely. Drain. Return to the pan and combine with the spaghetti sauce and heat this through. Layer the spaghetti sauce mixture on top of the pasta. Top with the mozzarella. Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes or until bubbly and golden. Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
