- 1 onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 small can sliced mushrooms (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning

- 2 15 oz jars Alfredo Sauce or 1 24+ oz jar divided.
- 2 boxes Ziti Pasta or Rigatoni
- 4 cups Shredded Mozzarella Chesse

Cook pasta according to package directions. Divide it into two 9×13 pans. Top it with 1- 15 oz jar of Alfredo or half a large jar. No need to mix it in.
Brown the meat with the onion and garlic seasoning to taste. Add in the sauce and Italian seasoning and let simmer. Divide the sauce evenly between the two pans spreading it on top of the pasta and Alfredo.
