Pronto Pastitsio

This is for all of you pasta freaks out there!

6 oz uncooked elbow mac (I get whole wheat)
1 lb ground lamb or beef (I did beef)
1/2 cup chopped onion (go fresh on this)
1/4 tsp of salt
2 cups tomato and basil pasta sauce (Prego)
1/4 tsp of cinnamon
1 10oz container of Alfredo sauce (fresh or canned)
1 1/2 cups of shredded Italian blend cheese
1 11x7 baking pan

1. Preheat oven to 350

2. Cook mac and set it aside

3. While the pasta is going, cook meat, onion and salt in a large skillet. Drain and return meat to skillet. Stir in red pasta sauce and cinnamon. Bring to a boil, and then simmer for 5 mins uncovered.

4. lightly grease your pan, layer 1/2 your mac, top it with red meat sauce. Take the rest of the mac and layer that on top, then top that with your Alfredo sauce. Sprinkle the top with a good layer of Italian blend cheese.

5. Bake for 30 mins, then remove and eat!

***If you like a lot of sauce, maybe double the amount you use. When you bake it, the mac absorbs a lot of the sauce**
