Ingredients
2 cups cooked chicken, diced
3 cups pasta (penne or fettuccine)
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Alfredo Sauce
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and milk, stirring gently. Let it simmer for 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese and mix until smooth and creamy. Season with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning if using.
3. Combine Everything
Add the cooked pasta and diced chicken to the sauce. Stir until everything is well coated in the creamy Alfredo mixture.
4. Assemble the Bake
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Transfer the pasta mixture into a greased baking dish.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the top.
5. Bake
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
6. Serve
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Tips for the Best Alfredo Bake
Add steamed broccoli or mushrooms for extra flavor and texture.
Use rotisserie chicken for a quick and easy shortcut.
For a golden crust, broil for the last 2–3 minutes.
