- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray or butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, chicken, Alfredo sauce, and garlic parmesan sauce. Mix in half of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
- If needed for extra sauciness, add about ½ cup of reserved pasta water.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly.
- Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
