Servings: 8 Servings
Ingredients
- 16 ounces uncooked pasta, I used rigatoni
- 2 cups cooked, diced chicken
- 2 cups shredded Italian cheese blend, divided
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 2 (8-ounce) cans quartered artichoke hearts, drained
Garlic Alfredo Sauce
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- ½ teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly spray a 9 x 13 x 2-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- Cook the pasta in a large pot according to the directions on the package and drain. Combine the pasta, diced chicken, 1 cup of the Italian cheese blend, spinach, and artichokes in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Add the butter, heavy whipping cream, and cream cheese to a medium saucepan. Whisk over medium heat and whisk until melted. Add the minced garlic, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Continue to whisk until smooth.
- Whisk in the grated parmesan cheese. Bring to a simmer and continue to cook for about 3-5 minutes or until it thickens.
- Pour the alfredo sauce over the pasta mixture and toss to coat everything evenly. Pour into the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining 1 cup of Italian blend cheese.
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes or until cooked throughout and bubbling on the sides. If you like the top browned, remove the foil during the last 5 minutes or so of baking.
