This comforting dish brings together the classic flavors of Chicken Alfredo in a fun, baked pasta format that’s perfect for family dinners or special occasions.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 20 jumbo pasta shells
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 15 oz ricotta cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 2 cups Alfredo sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pasta Shells: Cook the jumbo pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool.

  2. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ricotta cheese, egg, dried basil, dried oregano, ½ cup of the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

  3. Stuff the Shells: Fill each cooked pasta shell with the chicken and cheese mixture.

  4. Assemble the Dish: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread ¾ cup of Alfredo sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Arrange the stuffed shells in the dish. Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over the shells and sprinkle with the shredded mozzarella cheese and the remaining ¼ cup of Parmesan cheese.

  5. Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  6. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.

Notes
