Baked Creamy Chicken Pasta

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.

2. Prepare the Creamy Sauce
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously. Season with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

3. Combine Chicken and Cheese
Stir in the shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheeses have melted and the sauce is smooth.

4. Assemble the Pasta
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the creamy chicken mixture. Stir until everything is evenly coated.

5. Bake the Pasta
Transfer the pasta mixture to a greased baking dish. Sprinkle a little extra Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese on top if desired. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

6. Serve
Let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your deliciously creamy, cheesy baked chicken pasta!
