Chicken & Tomato Baked Pasta

Pasta is a comfort food for me, and I'm always looking for different ways to incorporate it into meals. This recipe comes together in under an hour and is honestly, so delicious. Feel free to add extra veggies if you want; broccoli or green beans would be a great side addition. Similar to most pasta, this also goes great with garlic bread!

Ingredients:

• 1 onion, chopped

• 2 Tb minced garlic

• 1 pint canned chicken (about 16 oz.)

• 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup + 1/3 cup water or broth

• 1 pint canned, diced tomatoes (about 16 oz.)

• 1 cup macaroni pasta

• 1-2 cups garden rotini pasta

• 1 tsp pepper

• 1 tsp italian seasoning

• 1/2 cup italian breadcrumbs

• 1/2 cup grated parmesan

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Start by sautéing onion and garlic until the onion is translucent, about 10-12 minutes. Place pasta in boiling water over stovetop and cook al dente.

Combine onion, garlic, pasta, chicken, cream of chicken + water, tomatoes, pasta, pepper, and italian seasoning in an 8x8 casserole dish. Stir to mix evenly. Bake 20 minutes.

Mix italian breadcrumbs and grated parmesan together. Sprinkle on top of pasta mixture, then bake an additional 10 minutes. Let the pasta cool for about 5-10 minutes after leaving the oven. Enjoy!
