Dinner with family is my favorite time of the day. It’s the time when everyone is around and we get to talk about things. This casserole has always been a part of our dining table. It’s kind of our favorite dish. It has everything you wish in a casserole. A must-try!
Ingredients:
1 (1 ounce) package of taco seasoning
1½ c grated Parmesan cheese
1½ c salsa
2 (15 ounces) jars of Alfredo sauce
4 c cooked, chopped chicken
1 c ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons minced onion flakes
1 (16 ounces) package of penne pasta
Directions:
Prepare the oven and preheat to 175 degrees C or 350 degrees F.
Apply cooking spray to a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Place a large pot with water on the stove and turn the heat to high. Allow the water to boil.
Add the pasta, then cook for a few minutes until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
In a large container, add chicken, ricotta cheese, Alfredo sauce, onion, taco seasoning, and salsa. Stir until well mixed.
Add the pasta, then toss until well coated by the delicious sauce.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the casserole.
Place it inside the preheated oven and bake for about 50 to 60 minutes or until the top turns golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes at room temperature.
Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes:
You have made this the night before. Just place it inside the fridge until ready to bake.
Feel free to use two 8×8-inch baking dishes.
