Ingredients:
- 16 oz pasta
- 1 jar (about 15 oz) Alfredo sauce
- 3 cups chicken broth or stock
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preparation: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish lightly.
- Combine Ingredients: In the baking dish, combine the uncooked pasta, Alfredo sauce, chicken broth, cooked chicken, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until the pasta is well coated and submerged in the liquid. Ensure the pasta is spread out evenly in the dish.
- Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes. During this time, the pasta will cook and absorb the flavors from the Alfredo sauce and chicken broth.
- Add Cheese: After 40 minutes, remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the pasta.
- Bake Uncovered: Return the baking dish to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the top is golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
- Enjoy: Serve this creamy baked Alfredo pasta with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete and satisfying meal.
