Provided by Meaghan @ 4 Sons R Us

Categories     Casserole     Dinner     Pasta

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 oz dry rotini pasta
3 tbsp butter
1 1/2 tsp minced garlic
1/4 cup flour
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 cups half & half (or whole milk)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
2-3 cups chopped rotisserie chicken

Steps:

  • Spray an 11x7" casserole dish with non stick cooking spray, and set aside.
  • Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain, run under cold water to stop cooking, and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the garlic cooking just until fragrant, about 30-45 seconds. Don't over cook and let the garlic burn or turn bitter.
  • Whisk in the flour and pepper until smooth, and cook until the mixture's bubbling. Whisk in the half & half, a little at a time, until completely incorporated and simmer until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened. Remove the skillet from heat.
  • Stir in 3/4 cups of both the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, and the Parmesan cheese, whisking until completely melted and the cheese sauce is smooth.
  • Add the pasta & chicken to the sauce, stirring gently until everything's evenly combined and generously coated in the cheese sauce.
  • Spread the mixture out evenly into the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly out overtop. You can be a little generous and add a bit extra for added cheese effect.
  • Bake the dish at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, or until the dish's bubbly throughout and the cheeses are melted and golden brown at the edges. Let rest for 2-3 minutes before scooping and serving.
