Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente, following package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Alfredo Sauce

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Stir in Alfredo sauce and heavy cream. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4: Combine Ingredients

In a large bowl, mix the cooked chicken, pasta, and Alfredo sauce until well coated.

Step 5: Assemble the Casserole

Transfer the pasta mixture into the greased baking dish. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.

Step 7: Garnish and Serve

Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
