1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and cover with foil to keep warm.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, whisk together the tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Set the pan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Whisk in the Alfredo sauce, reduce the heat to low and gently simmer for 10 minutes.
