Notes
The original recipe used Bertolli Four Cheese Rosa Sauce. The sauce has been discontinued. I now use this Rosa Alfredo Sauce by Little Italy in the Bronx. I found it at Publix.If you can’t find the Rosa Alfredo sauce, you can substitute 2 jars of Four Cheese Alfredo Sauce and 1/4 cup tomato paste.You can also use 3 packets of Knorr Parma Rosa Sauce made according to package directions.https://www.knorr.com/us/en/p/parma-rosa.html/00048001703650
