ITALIAN - CHEESY BACON / CHICKEN PASTA BAKE



Italian - Cheesy Bacon / Chicken Pasta Bake image

This is a recipe I threw together out of ingredients I wanted to use up in my pantry. If I must say so it was fantastic. The family loved it. Whats not to love with the use of bacon?...that is what set this dish off...I placed it on the top to bake, so as to stay crunchy. You may add it into the casserole if that's what you...

Categories     Pasta

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb 16 ounce pasta of your choice
1 lb bacon, cooked crisp
5 - 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed and cooked
1 - 8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 c onion
4 clove garlic, minced
2 ( 14.5 ounce ) cans diced tomatoes with garlic, basil and oregano

2 c heavy whipping cream
oregano, dried
salt and pepper to season chicken

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray, set aside. Cook and drain your pasta. Set aside.
  • 2. In a large skillet fry your bacon crisp, remove to a paper towel to drain.
  • 3. Save about 4 tablespoons of bacon grease, and brown your seasoned chicken in the same skillet till juices no longer run pink.
  • 4. In another large skillet or you can use the same one as chicken, once removed. Brown your onions and garlic with the olive oil. Till tender.
  • 5. Next, add your tomatoes and cream, bring to a slow boil for 3 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer for a few minutes until begins to thicken some. Stir in the cream cheese and half the mozzarella cheese until thoroughly blended. Add the chicken to the sauce.
  • 6. In the dutch oven I boiled my pasta in; add the pan of sauce to the pasta, and stir till evenly coated. Spread the pasta into the baking dish. sprinkle with remaining mozzarella. Then top cheese with oregano. And finally top with bacon.
  • 7. Place the dish into the oven, and bake for approx 40 - 45 minutes or until bubbly. I then placed under a broiler to brown a bit more ( do not have to ). Let the pasta set for 5 minutes before serving. I served the pasta with buttered Vienna bread. Enjoy!

CHICKEN BACON PASTA BAKE



Chicken Bacon Pasta Bake image

Cheesy chicken bacon pasta bake is a simple family dinner perfect for a weeknight meal. Comforting, easy to prepare, and freezer-friendly!

Provided by Andrea Soranidis - The Petite Cook

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

400 g penne pasta
2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
220 g chicken breast (cut into small strips or chunks)
150 g smoked bacon (cut into small chunks)
350 g tomato sauce (or a jar of pasta sauce)
sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper (to taste)
125 g mozzarella (grated)
125 g Parmesan cheese (grated)
handful fresh parsley (chopped)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180°C (360°F) or 160°C (with fan option on) or gas mark 4.
  • Place a large pan of water over high heat and bring to a boil. Lightly season with sea salt, then add the pasta and cook for about 7-9 minutes.
  • Look at the instructions on your pasta packaging. See how long it tells you to boil the penne for, and drain the pasta 3-4 minutes before this time.
  • Whilst the pasta cooks, heat a skillet to medium heat, add the olive oil and the chicken and stir-fry for about 5 minutes, until the chicken is lightly browned on all sides.
  • Heat a small skillet over medium heat, add the bacon and cook until crispy, for about 4-5 minutes, then transfer on a plate covered with kitchen paper to absorb the grease in excess.
  • Drain the pasta al dente, and transfer the pasta back into the pan. Add in the tomato sauce, chicken and bacon and mix all the ingredients. Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Transfer the ingredients in a 6x8 inches baking dish or an oven-friendly pan, and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese and mozzarella all over the top.
  • Bake the chicken and bacon pasta for around 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese on top is golden brown. If you want some nice crunchy brown spots, set the baking dish under the grill for 2-3 minutes extra. Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.

EASY NO BOIL PASTA BAKE



Easy No Boil Pasta Bake image

Campbell's used to make a jarred pasta bake sauce that I loved when my kids were little and time was short! When it was discontinued I discovered that the same recipe could be used with any jarred pasta sauce. My oldest son, who is away at college, asked me for some easy recipes that he can make with minimal mess and time and this recipe popped into my head... I thought I'd post it since I couldn't find any others like it on Zaar.
