Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked pasta (fettuccine or penne)
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced

- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

- Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

Baking
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Use freshly cooked pasta for the best texture, but leftover pasta works too. If the Alfredo sauce is too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen it up. For extra flavor, sprinkle some red pepper flakes on top before baking. Let the dish rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the flavors to meld. Use a mix of cheeses like provolone or cheddar for a unique twist. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes or until warmed through.
