Sauce- This is a red sauce recipe, but you can use a white sauce. My favorite is the cream cheese béchamel.
Pasta- You can use your preferred long noodle. You can use the traditional spaghetti, linguine, or fettuccine. Or even short pasta noodles.
Serving size- The serving size can change depending on how much pasta is served per person.
Storage- Save in an airtight container in your fridge for up to 4 days.
