From the number of pasta bakes and other pasta recipes on our site, I think you can guess how much we love pasta. I often make tomato-based pasta dishes, but today I felt like sharing a rich and creamy pasta bake. This one is definitely rich! Pasta smothered in a creamy sauce with a little garlic and a hint of white wine (optional) with parmesan, cheddar AND mozzarella! Not forgetting the shredded chicken (a great way to use up leftover chicken) and lots of lovely mushrooms. Just talking about it makes me want to eat it all over again.
So what exactly is alfredo sauce?
It’s a very simple white sauce, usually made with butter, cream and parmesan. It’s most commonly seen with the Italian classic Fettucine alfredo. I’m going with a similar flavour profile here, but with some added extras (such as garlic and more cheese!) to make it even more delicious.
What do we need to make this bake?
This recipe uses leftover cooked chicken from your Roast Chicken Dinner.
