Grown-up mac and cheese, though my 1 year old also devoured it! I love the combination of cheese and the subtle flavor from the peppers, onions and garlic. I'm going to add broccoli as well the next time I make this. Ingredients:
1 lb penne pasta, cooked according to directions |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1/2 cup yellow onion, chopped |
2 tablespoons garlic, minced |
1/2 cup bell pepper, chopped (i use yellow, red and green) |
1 teaspoon oregano |
salt and pepper, to taste |
1/2 cup ricotta cheese |
1 cup chicken, shredded (i used poached) |
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (i use a mexican blend) |
1/4 cup parmesan cheese |
1/4 cup milk |
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of chicken soup, undiluted |
Directions:
1. Saute onion, peppers and garlic in olive oil until soft. Season with oregano.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese with shredded cheese and Parmesan.
3. Add soup and milk and stir to combine.
4. Add salt and pepper to taste.
5. Add softened vegetables, shredded cooked chicken and finally fold in the cooked pasta.
6. Pour into a greased casserole dish, top with additional shredded cheese and cover with foil.
7. Cook for 25 minutes. Remove foil and cook for another 5-10 or until top if browned and bubbly.
