Ingredients
  

3 cups rotini pasta (or any pasta of your choice)

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed (a rotisserie chicken works wonderfully)

2 cups Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup frozen peas (optional, for a pop of color and nutrition)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will prepare it for the delicious bake ahead.

    Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, add water and a generous pinch of salt, bringing it to a rolling boil. Once boiling, add the rotini pasta and cook according to the package instructions until it reaches the al dente stage. Once cooked, drain the pasta and set it aside.

      Combine Ingredients: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the drained pasta, shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, half of the shredded mozzarella, half of the grated Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and the frozen peas (if using). Stir everything together gently and thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly mixed.

        Transfer to the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or softened butter to prevent sticking. Carefully pour the combined pasta mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly for uniform cooking.

          Add Toppings: Generously sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top of the pasta mixture, creating a delicious cheesy crust.

            Bake: Place the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Keep an eye on it; you're looking for the cheese to become bubbly and golden brown, indicating it's perfectly baked.

              Garnish and Serve: After baking, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Just before serving, garnish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant touch.
