Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; cook the ziti pasta for 8-10 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, brown the smoked beef over medium heat for 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
Stir in the Alfredo sauce with the browned beef in the skillet and warm for about 2 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked ziti with the beef and Alfredo sauce mixture.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and pour the creamy pasta mixture into it.
Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese on top.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
