I re-pinned this from a friend of mine, and I loved the idea of combining marinara and Alfredo sauce. How could that not be good?
Well, it was absolutely delicious. Creamy, comforting, cheesy, and very filling. I added chicken to make it a little more hearty, so I decreased the amount of pasta from original recipe to balance it out and make sure it wasn't too dry. The original also called for a layer of cheese sprinkled on top, but I decided to skip this step.

8 ounces ziti
1 15-ounce jar Alfredo sauce
1 24-ounce jar marinara sauce
2 cups cooked, chopped chicken
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Cook pasta according to directions and drain. Mix the sauces together in a large bowl. Add the chicken and mozzarella and stir to combine. Add ziti and toss to coat. Pour into a 9x13 dish and bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
I love pasta dishes, especially when they're combined with creamy sauces, so I was very excited to try this one. The recipe is simple, and yet the flavor is rich and complex.
