This is a delicious pasta dish that is very easy to make. I like to use spiral noodles, but this recipe can be made with any shaped pasta. Serve with a salad and warm bread if desired.

This is a kid pleaser-very cheesy and topped with pepperoni. It makes 2 large (9x13) casseroles or 4 small ones; I often divide it in fourths and freeze 3. This originally came from TOH's Quick Cooking.

EASY ITALIAN PASTA CASSEROLE



Easy Italian Pasta Casserole image

This recipe is so easy and so yummy. We have it often at my house on those busy weeknights when I'm just too tired to get crazy in the kitchen. I usually serve this dish with cottage cheese and garlic bread as sides. It's my 16 year-old, pasta-loving son's favorite! We hope you'll love it too! OPTIONAL: You can add 1 pound of browned and drained hamburger or Italian sausage or throw in some pepperoni slices if your family likes it meaty!

HEATHER'S CHICKEN PASTA CROCKPOT CASSEROLE (SERIOUSLY EASY)



HEATHER'S CHICKEN PASTA CROCKPOT CASSEROLE (SERIOUSLY EASY) image

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 Chicken breast (boneless/skinless)
1 can Cream of Mushroom soup
1 can French Onion soup
1/2 box elbow pasta
Optional:
Bread crumb topping
Cheese
Assorted Veggies

Steps:

  • 1. Put 2 chicken breast, and both soups into the crockpot. No need to add water or additional seasoning (in my opinion) definitely don't add salt if you decide to add anything. 2. Cook for a few hours on low or high until the chicken shreds easily with two forks. Shred chicken in soup. 3. Cook 1/2 box of elbow pasta until done as normal. 4. Mix pasta, chicken/soup, and any steamed veggies you might like in there. I did broccoli and carrots. 5. Dump all into a casserole dish. Top with cheese if desired, or top with a simple bread crumb mix (melted butter, bread crumbs, seasoning), or leave it plain. Cook until top looks crispy/bubbly/gooey, etc depending on what you put on top.
