Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package uncooked rotini pasta
22 oz jar Alfredo sauce (about 1 very large 22-ounce jar or 1 ½ 15-ounce jars) ((approximately 2 ½ cups total))
3 cups chicken stock
2 cups diced rotisserie chicken ((or other diced cooked chicken))
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 cups shredded mozzarella ((or Italian blend cheese))
Optional: Parmesan cheese and fresh chopped herbs ((such as basil, oregano, and parsley for garnish))

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large baking dish, stir together uncooked pasta, Alfredo sauce, chicken stock, chicken and garlic. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Uncover; give the pasta a good stir. At this point you should check the pasta to make sure that it is al dente (firm but with a tender bite). I have had good luck with the 30-minute cook time; however, some readers have noted that it required about 10 or 15 minutes longer. If it's still too hard after 30 minutes, just cover the dish and return to the oven until pasta is al dente. Then move on to the next step.
Sprinkle mozzarella over the top. Bake uncovered for 8-10 more minutes (or until cheese is melted and pasta is tender).
Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan or fresh chopped herbs, if desired.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (8 ounce) package penne pasta
½ (16 ounce) jar Alfredo sauce
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
¼ cup milk
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Place chicken into a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat and simmer until no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, about 15 minutes.
At the same time, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain. Drain cooked chicken and cut into bite-size pieces.
Place chicken, noodles, Alfredo sauce, 1/2 mozzarella cheese, milk, onion powder, and garlic powder in a large bowl and mix well. Pour into a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish. Layer remaining mozzarella cheese and Cheddar cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven until melted and bubbly, about 25 minutes.
