A simple recipe for a baked casserole featuring cooked chicken mixed with pasta and covered in a rich, creamy Alfredo sauce, topped with melted cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fettuccine pasta
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the fettuccine according to package directions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
  3. While the pasta cooks, prepare the sauce. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for one minute until fragrant. Do not let the garlic brown.
  4. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and milk. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring often. Reduce the heat to low.
  5. Stir in the 1 cup of Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly. Remove the pan from the heat.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, shredded chicken, and the Alfredo sauce. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
  7. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  8. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and the extra Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
  9. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese topping is golden brown and melted.
  10. Let the bake rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can use rotisserie chicken to save time on cooking the chicken.
  • For a richer flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese instead of pre-shredded.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce before baking, simmer the sauce mixture for an extra 3 to 5 minutes before adding the chicken and pasta.
