Kittencal's Sausage Alfredo Penne Casserole
"I make this using my own Alfredo sauce recipe (posted on this site). There is a fair amount of prep work so I recommend, cooking the sausage mixture a day ahead and also prepare the pasta ahead, cover and refrigerate both, I do not however recommend making the alfredo sauce a day ahead, since there is a small amount of oven baking time all ingredients should be hot or fairly warm, if refrigerated make certain to heat both in the microwave before using for the recipe "
