Get ready for the best alfredo sauce of your life with three cheeses in this amazing pasta dish!
Our favorite alfredo sauce of all-time comes from The Recipe Critic, so I knew I would love this recipe as well from The Recipe Critic. I had to cross reference the alfredo sauces to see how close they were and the only addition here is mozzarella cheese. So they are nearly the same and they are close enough to both be winners. This definitely will be a go-to recipe for us because of the alfredo sauce (and the fact that I don't have to make lasagna roll ups to get it. Plus the broccoli comes with it, so I can serve this up in bowls and not plates. It's a winner winner all around, folks. You'll notice in the pictures that penne is used and shells are used. We made it a handful of times within a short period of time (very unlike us and that means we love love love it) and I have to say that I prefer shells over penne.
