Number Of Ingredients 13

1 box (12 oz) jumbo pasta shells
Olive oil
1 jar (15 oz) Alfredo pasta sauce
1/2 cup Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-oz carton), or water
4 cups shredded cooked chicken
3 cups ricotta cheese (12 oz)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Dash salt and pepper
5 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375° F. Spray 13 x 9-inch (3-quart) baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Cook and drain pasta shells as directed on box; spread on cookie sheet to cool. Drizzle with olive oil so shells don't stick together.
  • In medium bowl, stir together Alfredo sauce and broth.
  • In large bowl, mix chicken, ricotta, Parmesan, egg, parsley, garlic, pepper flakes, salt and pepper, and half of the cooked bacon. Fold mixture to combine well.
  • Spoon just enough Alfredo sauce mixture in bottom of baking dish to cover bottom. When pasta is cool enough to handle, fill shells with chicken mixture. Place shells in slightly diagonal rows until baking dish is full (28 to 30 shells). Cover shells with remaining sauce.
  • Bake about 35 minutes or until sauce is bubbling and filling is hot. Sprinkle with remaining bacon.

Provided by GratefulSea

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 ounce box jumbo pasta shells
Olive oil
15 ounce jar Alfredo pasta sauce
1/2 cup chicken stock or water
4 cups cooked chicken, shredded
3 cups ricotta cheese (12 ounces)
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Dash salt and pepper
5 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375° F. Spray 13 x 9-inch (3-quart) baking dish with cooking spray. Cook and drain pasta shells as directed on box; spread on cookie sheet to cool. Drizzle with olive oil so shells don't stick together. In medium bowl, stir together Alfredo sauce and stock. In large bowl, mix chicken, ricotta, Parmesan, egg, parsley, garlic, pepper flakes, salt and pepper, and half of the cooked bacon. Fold mixture to combine well. Spoon just enough Alfredo sauce mixture in bottom of baking dish to cover bottom. When pasta is cool enough to handle, fill shells with chicken mixture. Place shells in slightly diagonal rows until baking dish is full (28 to 30 shells). Cover shells with remaining sauce. Bake about 35 minutes or until sauce is bubbling and filling is hot. Sprinkle with remaining bacon. Cook notes: I would consider adding quartered artichoke hearts or sliced mushrooms.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh pasta, good quality cheese, and flavorful chicken will make a big difference in the final dish.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. To ensure the chicken remains tender and juicy, cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Make sure the Alfredo sauce is thick enough to coat the pasta shells. If the sauce is too thin, it won't stick to the pasta and the dish will be dry.
  • Be careful not to overstuff the pasta shells. If they are too full, they will burst when they are baked.
  • Cook the stuffed shells until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will ensure that the shells are cooked through and the cheese is gooey and delicious.
  • Garnish the stuffed shells with fresh herbs or grated Parmesan cheese before serving for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Carbonara Chicken Alfredo Stuffed Shells is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion.
