Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 8 ounces uncooked penne noodles
- 2 cups prepared alfredo sauce ((one store-bought jar works great!))
- ¼ teaspoon dry oregano
- ¼ teaspoon dry basil
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt ((or to taste))
- ¼ teaspoon pepper ((or to taste))
- 6 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese (divided)
- 1 chicken breast cooked (cut into 1 inch pieces)
- 1 cup chopped red pepper
- 1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms + 1/2 teaspoon olive oil + 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
Instruction
- Preheat oven to 400. Lightly grease a large casserole dish or two smaller casserole dishes with cooking spray.
- Cook penne noodles according to package instructions. Drain and place in a large bowl. Add alfredo sauce, oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt and pepper, and 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese. Mix well to combine. (*Optional: add chicken and peppers here.) Scoop mixture into casserole dish and sprinkle with remaining parmesan cheese. Bake 20 minutes and serve hot.
- ***Optional: If you would like to include the mushrooms (which I highly recommend!) saute the mushrooms over medium high heat with oil and garlic about 5 minutes or until fragrant and mushrooms are slightly browned on each side. Add before scooping into casserole dish.
