Notes

You can use homemade Alfredo sauce instead of store-bought jars for a fresher flavor.
Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
For added veggies, consider mixing in spinach or mushrooms before baking.
Use fresh herbs instead of dried if preferred for a more vibrant taste.
This dish freezes well; prepare and freeze before baking, then bake directly from frozen, adding extra baking time as needed.
