2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup pickles, chopped

Instructions

Cook the pasta in salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Add diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
Pour in the Alfredo sauce and stir to combine with the beef mixture. Gradually add the cheddar and mozzarella cheese until melted and creamy.
Toss in the cooked pasta, mixing well to coat it evenly in the sauce. Heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and incorporate chopped pickles and sliced green onions before serving.
