Ingredients
  

3 cups rotini or penne pasta

2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (you can use store-bought rotisserie chicken)

2 cups Alfredo sauce (homemade or store-bought)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup steamed broccoli florets (optional)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

    Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

      Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. If using, gently fold in the steamed broccoli.

        Add Cheese: Stir in half of the mozzarella cheese and half of the Parmesan cheese into the pasta mixture for added creaminess.

          Assemble the Bake: Transfer the pasta mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread it evenly. Top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, ensuring a cheesy, golden topping.

            Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the creamy goodness!
