Step 4: Assemble the Pasta Dish
In a baking dish, spread a layer of Alfredo sauce on the bottom.

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Add the crumbled bacon on top of the cheese.
Step 5: Bake
Place the assembled dish in the oven and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 6: Serve
Let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving.
