Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound rotini pasta Use any type of rotini pasta.
  • 2 cups jarred Alfredo sauce Use any brand of Alfredo sauce.
  • 3 cups shredded pepper jack cheese For a milder taste, substitute with cheddar or mozzarella.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the rotini until just shy of al dente, about 1 to 2 minutes less than the package directions. Drain well.
Combining Ingredients
  1. In a large bowl, stir the hot rotini with the Alfredo sauce and 2 cups of the shredded pepper jack cheese until the pasta is evenly coated.
Baking
  1. Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer. Top with the remaining 1 cup of pepper jack cheese.
  2. Bake uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes, until hot and bubbly with lightly golden edges.
  3. Let it stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

This dish can be served as a main course or a side dish. It pairs well with fresh salad or garlic bread. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or bake in the oven until warm.
