I’ve never tried this type of pasta before, but it was absolutely amazing!

This Oven Baked Cheesy Chicken Alfredo Bake is a rich, creamy, and incredibly satisfying one-dish meal perfect for a comforting weeknight dinner. Tender pasta and shredded chicken are tossed in a luscious Alfredo sauce, topped with a generous layer of melted cheese, and baked until golden and bubbly.

Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. 1. Preheat Oven & Cook Pasta: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until it is al dente (still firm to the bite). Drain the pasta thoroughly and set it aside.
   2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked penne pasta, shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are well combined and the pasta and chicken are evenly coated with the sauce.

1. 1. Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with olive oil.
   2. Assemble & Top: Pour the pasta mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the pasta mixture.
   3. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, golden brown, and bubbly, and the casserole is heated through.

1. Cool & Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
