Ingredients

  • 8 ounces uncooked pasta I used penne
  • 4 cups broccoli florets see note
  • 2 cups cooked chicken (I used rotisserie) shredded or chopped
  • 1 (15 ounce) jar Alfredo sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups mozzarella shredded
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375F and move the rack to the top third of the oven.
  • Boil a large, salted pot of water for the pasta, and cook it for 1 minute less than the package directions indicate. Add the broccoli to the pot 2 minutes before the pasta is done. Drain and transfer to a 9x13 casserole dish.
  • Add the chicken, Alfredo sauce, parmesan, and Italian seasoning to the casserole dish, and toss together.
  • Smooth it out in an even layer, and then top it with the mozzarella.
  • Bake, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes until hot and bubbly. Optional: broil it for a few minutes to brown the cheese (watch it closely so it doesn't burn). Season with salt & pepper as needed and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Wondering how much broccoli to buy? It's not an exact science because broccoli comes in all sizes, sometimes has larger or smaller stems, and you also will cut it into different sized florets every time. As a rough guide, 1 pound of broccoli typically yields about 3-4 cups when cut into florets. At the end of the day, a little more or a little less than suggested won't make or break this recipe!
  • For frozen broccoli: add it from frozen to the boiling water with the pasta, but only cook it for up to a minute since frozen broccoli is already par-cooked and you don't want it getting mushy in the oven.
  • If you like tons of sauce, I recommend using a 19 oz. jar or something in that ballpark vs. the regular size (15 oz.) jars.
