Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup garlic parmesan sauce
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 pound rotini pasta, cooked and drained
- 3 cups cooked chicken, diced or shredded
- 2 (15 ounce) jars Alfredo sauce
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked pasta, diced or shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, garlic parmesan sauce, half of the mozzarella cheese, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well. Add about ½ cup of reserved pasta water for extra sauciness if needed.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Optional: For a golden top, broil for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before garnishing with chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
