I made this recipe up one night when I found a recipe calling for frozen pasta vegetable mix. This is much more economical and much tastier. Even my husband who does not like vegetables loves it.

Another of my kids favorites! I got this recipe from my mother-in-law and tweeked it a bit. The result has become a staple in our house! Tip: I often make this, put into two small casserole dishes, and freeze one. To bake after frozen, bake covered at 300 for an hour, then 400 for ½ hour and then 15 min uncovered.

CREAMY CHICKEN PASTA CASSEROLE



Creamy Chicken Pasta Casserole image

I am always looking for new ways to cook pasta that is easy and affordable. I try to avoid the canned premade soups when at all possible so I came up with this rather easy creamy sauce to change up the standard tomato sauce. The kids and hubby loved it. You can add anything you and your family likes and play around with the topping (I think a crunchy topping would taste good here too.) For the chicken I just roasted a few breast in the oven but you can use any left over or precooked you have. Also keep in mind the brand of Italian seasoning will have a different herb blend so be sure to use one you like.

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
