Betty Crocker Lighter Tomato “Alfredo” Pasta Bake

A saucy pasta bake loaded with Italian sausage, tomato and Alfredo sauce, fusilli and melty mozzarella sounds delicious, but not particularly light—at least until now! This recipe was expressly designed to deliver on flavors of the dish that inspired it—crowd-favorite Tomato-Alfredo Baked Ziti—while also trimming down the calories. To pull this off, the Betty Crocker Kitchens made a number of smart changes: using turkey sausage in lieu of pork, reducing the amount of cheese and including a homemade Alfredo sauce that starts with a head of cauliflower. That’s right: You can transform this nutrient-packed vegetable into a luscious and garlicky sauce. What’s more, the creamy richness of the cauli-fredo sauce is enhanced by the mild acidity of the Muir Glen™ fire roasted crushed tomatoes. The pairing of these two sauces is what makes the dish so irresistible—and that’s exactly what we were going for!
