Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound dried fettuccine or penne pasta
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast
  • 24 ounces Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain the pasta well and set it aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, heavy cream, garlic powder, pepper, and salt. Mix until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Pour the pasta mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
  5. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of the mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the pasta mixture.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly around the edges.
  7. Remove the dish from the oven. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese and the Parmesan cheese over the top.
  8. Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese topping is melted, golden brown, and bubbly.
  9. Let the bake rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a crispier top, broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  • Add 1 cup of steamed broccoli florets or sautéed mushrooms to the pasta mixture for extra vegetables.
  • If you want a lower-carb option, substitute the pasta with 4 cups of cooked cauliflower florets.
  • This casserole freezes well; assemble completely, cover tightly, and freeze before baking. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking as directed.
