Pink Sauce Pasta

I had this at the Relief Society Christmas Party in my ward and it was absolutely WONDERFUL! The lady who made it shared the recipe with everyone and before I lost it I wanted to put it on here.

First make the alfredo sauce:

Melt and simmer-

2 sticks of butter

1 - 8 oz. block of cream cheese

A quart of heavy cream

3/4 c. milk

1 1/2 c. good shredded parmesan cheese

2 tsp. garlic powder

salt and pepper to taste

Brown and season 1-2 lbs. of ground beef. Drain off grease. Boil 2 boxes of rigatoni noodle or penne. Cook until almost done. Drain noodles and pour into a LARGE baking dish. Pour alfredo sauce over and add browned hamburger and stir until well coated. Pour a large jar of prego spaghetti sauce evenly over top. (or you can make homemade sauce). Top with shredded mozzarella or italian blend cheese or both. (she does both). Bake in the oven at 350* for 30 minutes. Enjoy it's creamy goodness.

This recipe make a lot!!!
