Baked pasta dishes are the best! This one is a little different and really quite easy to make. It's a good way to extend chicken. I got this recipe from a Reader's Digest book called The How-To Book of Healthy Cooking....the title goes on. I wonder if the title comes in a condensed version? lol

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more herbs and spices next time.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always comes out perfect. I usually add a little extra garlic and Parmesan cheese.

This pasta chicken and sage casserole was a hit with my family! It was easy to make and tasted delicious. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the pasta was cooked perfectly. The sage added a nice touch of flavor.
