2 cloves garlic, minced
l can (15oz.) tomato sauce
3 Tbs. chopped fresh parsley

1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/4 cup plus Tbs. grated Romano cheese, divided
5 eggs, at room temperature
l jar (16oz.)Alfredo sauce
olive oil to coat the bottom of the skillet

Cook noodles according to package directions. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In skillet over medium heat cook beef, onion and garlic in olive oil until browned, 8 minutes. Reduce heat to low.


Stir in next 5 ingredients; cook 5 minutes.



Spread half of pasta in ungreased 9x13 baking dish. Sprinkle 1/4 cup Romano cheese. Top with even layer of beef mixture, then the remaining pasta.
