Notes

You can really use any type of pasta you prefer. Angel hair pasta, linguine, whole wheat spaghetti, etc.

Cook the pasta in plenty of well-salted water. Cook pasta to al dente, don't overcook the pasta! It will finish cooking in the oven.

Rotel tomatoes are simply fire-roasted tomatoes, green chilies, lime, and fresh cilantro. If you can't find your own Rotel tomatoes, substitute with fresh salsa.

Substitute Velveeta cheese for cream cheese if you'd prefer.

If you're short on time, make this on top of the stovetop in a Dutch oven. You won't get the crispy crust, but it will still be delicious!

Rotel Chicken Spaghetti freezes well! Wrap in plastic wrap or store in airtight containers and freeze up to three months.
