Equipment

  • 1 9x13 casserole dish

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces bow tie pasta (farfalle pasta)
  • 3 cups cooked chicken diced or shredded
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 15 ounce jar Alfredo sauce
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded pepper Jack cheese divided
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
  • Cook the bow tie pasta according to package directions until just al dente. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the broccoli florets to the pasta water. Save 1 cup of pasta water. Drain well and return to the pot.

  • Stir in the chicken, Alfredo sauce, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, 1½ cups shredded cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese. Add pasta water as needed - I used about ¼ cup. You want the casserole to be saucy, not dry!
