This is a copycat recipe of olive garden. Five cheese ziti was hit among the kids. If ziti sauce and toppings are prepared ahead, this would be a easy process. The original recipe called for double cheese, I used only half of the cheese, but really turned out good. This is the continuation of last post....:)

Alfredo & Zitti sauce
We are having a huge change this weekend, we are moving from United states to India. Moving is always stressful. Our family has moved many times, but I still worry about packing things,settling down..... stuck with mixed feelings. If I was not in this country, for sure I would not been in this blogging world. Before leaving from United states I want to try five cheese ziti a signature dish of Olive garden.
I will be posting five cheese Ziti in next post, before that I would like to share the sauce with you. I used Italian five cheese from Kraft in place of Fontina cheese. I want to use store bought Alfredo sauce to simplify my work, but unfortunately all Alfredo sauce had egg, so decided to make my own sauce. I would not say this is so healthy, because each and every ingredients in five cheese Ziti has fat content in it. Taking once in a while is OK :). Since it is homemade we can alter the full fat into skimmed or low fat cream.
