- Spread half of the meats evenly out overtop.
- Add half the veggie mixture to the dish, and gently spread it out evenly to cover the noodles/dish.
- Spread half of the shredded cheese evenly out overtop. Repeat this layer once, and then top with the remaining pasta noodles.
- Pour the second jar of alfredo sauce evenly out overtop of the dish, spreading as necessary. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
