Ingredients:
1 jar of Ragu Classic Alfredo
1 package of Fettuccine pasta
Parmesan cheese (for topping)
¼ to ½ cup of chopped bacon (I use the ready to use cooked and chopped one)
1 cup frozen peas (optional)
1 cup cut asparagus (optional)
Instruction:
Cook Fettuccine pasta according to package directions. This usually take 12 to 15 minutes. While it’s cooking, prepare the rest of your ingredients.
If using frozen peas and/or asparagus, you can cook them together with the pasta. Pour the frozen peas or asparagus into the pasta pot about 3-5 minutes before the fettuccine pasta finishes cooking. So make sure to time the pasta and pour the vegetables after about 8 to 10 minutes of cooking the noodles.
Once you pour the vegetables to the pasta in the last 3-5 minutes, pour your Ragu Classic Alfredo into a microwave-safe bowl and warm up in the microwave for about 2-3 minutes. Checking for desired heat.
Once the pasta and vegetables are done, transfer to a serving dish. Pour the warm Ragu Classic Alfredo sauce on top.
Top with parmesan cheese and chopped bacon, and serve. Enjoy!

Instruction:
"Pasta (This is how I prepare the pasta, but if you have a different way of preparing the pasta, I’m sure it will work fine):
Cook pasta in water quantity per package instructions, add salt and olive oil to the water and stir constantly. When done, remove water and run pasta through cold water. Add 3 table spoons of olive oil to pasta and stir.
Sauce:
Pour all the Alfredo sauce in a sauce pan over medium heat. Rinse alfredo sauce container with the milk and pour in the sauce pan. Add half of the parmesan cheese in and stir, making sure sauce doesn’t stick to the sides of pan. Add cajun seasoning until it reaches a spicy level you like. Remove from heat once sauce is hot.
Serve sauce over pasta and sprinkle remaining parmesan cheese over the sauce."
