What a fun spin on traditional tomato sauce this pink marinara alfredo sauce is. Otherwise known as Rosa sauce is a little new to me. I only heard about it a few years ago when introduced to it by a friend in conversation. Apparently mixing tomato and Alfredo sauce has been a thing that people have been doing for a while now.
Where the heck have I been? I've been seriously missing out on this. I've made this so many times since then that I can't even count. The Alfredo sauce really adds so much incredible flavor to the tomato sauce and It couldn't be easier to do. Especially if you plan on using jarred Alfredo like I do.I always get compliments whenever I make this recipe for family and friends. They can never believe how delicious and easy it is.
