Cheesy Chicken Alfredo Pasta Bake

penne (or another similar shape)

chicken

butter

all-purpose flour

garlic (minced)

half & half

Italian seasoning

chicken bouillon

mozzarella cheese (divided)

parmesan

Parsley

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Set out a 9X13 inch baking dish.

Set a large pot of salted water over high heat. Once boiling, stir in the penne and cook according to the package instructions. Then drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of pasta water for later use.

Meanwhile, set a second large sauce pot over medium heat. Add the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour. Then whisk in the minced garlic. Continue to whisk for 1-2 minutes until the roux is golden in color.

Stir in the half &amp; half, Italian seasoning, and bouillon. Once the mixture is hot, stir in 1 cup shredded mozzarella, and 1 cup parmesan cheese. Stir and simmer until the cheese is well incorporated.

The sauce should be thick, but still saucy, not like gravy. If it seems too thick, mix in ½ to 1 cup pasta water. Then mix in the cooked pasta and chicken pieces.

Pour the pasta mix into the baking dish. Spread out evenly. Then sprinkle the remaining 2 cups of mozzarella cheese over the top.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the sides are bubbling and the cheese on top is melted with crispy edges. Serve warm.

You only need 10 minutes of prep and one dish for this easy Dump-and-Bake Chicken Alfredo Pasta Casserole. You don&#39;t even have to boil the pasta!

Dump and Bake Chicken Alfredo Pasta Casserole

rotini pasta

22 oz jar Alfredo sauce (about 1 very large 22-ounce jar

chicken stock

garlic

mozzarella ((or Italian blend cheese))

Parmesan cheese and fresh chopped herbs ((such

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.

Creamy Chicken Alfredo Casserole is an easy meal for a busy weeknights. Penne pasta in homemade garlic Alfredo sauce topped with cheese and a crispy breadcrumb topping will become a family favorite!

penne pasta (or your favorite pasta)

chicken (I use a rotisserie chicken)

peas

Italian cheese blend

garlic (mashed, directions below)

olive oil (for drizzling)

heavy cream

Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)

salt (to taste)

cream cheese

sour cream

heavy cream (the remainder of the 16 ounces)

bread crumbs

Preheat the oven to 400 °F. To roast the whole head of garlic, peel off the outer skin, leaving the skin on the individual cloves. Cut 1/4 to 1/2-inch off the tops off of the cloves with a sharp knife so that you can see the individual cloves. Place the head of garlic on a square piece of tin foil and drizzle with olive oil. With clean fingers, massage the olive oil into the tops of the garlic cloves. Wrap aluminum foil around the head of garlic so that it is completely encased. Place the wrapped head of garlic on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, or until cloves are tender when lightly squeezed. Set aside to cool enough to be handled.

Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Prepare an 8 X 8-inch baking dish by spraying it with cooking spray.

Remove the cloves of garlic by gently squeezing them from the skins and place into a small bowl. With a fork, mash the cloves.

To roast the garlic

Cook the pasta to al dente according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.

Pasta

Mix the Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper, cream cheese, and sour cream whisking constantly until all of the cheese has melted.

To thicken the sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of flour with the remaining heavy cream (1/4 cup)in a small bowl. Add the cream/flour mixture to the saucepan, stirring and heating until mixture thickens.

Alfredo Sauce

In a large bowl, place the cooked pasta, chicken, peas, cup of Italian cheese,

Pour the Alfredo sauce over the bowl, and mix everything together. Pour into the prepared baking dish.

Assembly

Put butter in a medium microwaveable bowl and microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until completely melted. Add in breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, and cheese, and mix until well combined. Sprinkle over the baking dish
