Instructions

  1. In a heavy pot, heat water over high heat until boiling. Make sure to heavily salt the water which helps to infuse flavor into the pasta while cooking. 
  2. Make the individual sauces -- alfredo, marinara, and pesto or heat up the jarred pasta sauces.
  3. Cook the pasta according to package instructions. I love to use fresh pasta in this recipe. Drain the cooked pasta and place it on a serving platter or shallow bowl.
  4. Place a layer of marinara sauce onto one side of the pasta, followed by alfredo sauce in the center, and pesto on the other side. I suggest using less pesto sauce than the other sauces since it has a strong flavor profile and you don't want it to overwhelm the other flavors.
  5. Toss the pasta sauces together when ready to serve and sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • If you don't make homemade marinara sauce, I suggest buying Rao's sauce.
  • If you are going to make any sauce from scratch, I would suggest making the alfredo sauce from scratch. I have a great recipe!
  • If you buy pesto sauce from the grocery store, I suggest buying it from the refrigerated section for fresher pesto.
