Prepare your favorite spaghetti sauce using 1.5 lbs of ground beef and 45 oz of spaghetti sauce. Set aside.
Boil penne pasta according to package directions until al dente. For extra flavor, add salt and chicken bouillon to the water. Before draining, reserve one cup of the pasta water.
To make the Alfredo sauce, melt 1 stick of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add six minced garlic cloves and stir for a couple of minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Pour in 2 cups of heavy cream and season with salt and pepper. Stir continuously for about 10 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.
Add 2 cups of Parmesan cheese and the 5.2 oz package of garlic and herb cheese. Stir until both cheeses are fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Add the reserved pasta water and the drained penne pasta to the Alfredo sauce. Stir to combine.
Pour the pasta and Alfredo sauce mixture into a greased 11x13 inch baking dish and spread into an even layer.
Top the pasta with the prepared spaghetti meat sauce, spreading it evenly over the surface.
Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, followed by a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
Let the pasta bake rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
