Make sure to repin this recipe
This week has been CRAZY – there are just so many things happening with the site recently and my family ( all good — but still crazy) that I knew I needed to make a VERY easy casserole – something my family just heat up on their own without my help
I have a very funny story about cheese paper and a sandwich I might tell y’all one day – the moral of that story is that I needed to make dinner as EASY as possible
I loved this recipe since it was frugal and very simple to make – I really hope you enjoy it too
It is full of fresh basil, tomato sauce, pasta, and TONS of cheese — 3 Cups of cheese in all !
I could live in a cheese shop – there is a sweet little on in Solvang, CA —- my family had to pry me out of there
This is everything you will need – I told you it was easy 🙂
I bought a live basil plant – because the one from last year bit the dust and it was cheaper and fresher to buy the plant than to buy the basil in the herb section at my store
You could make this recipe gluten free by using gluten free pasta
Feel free to add in more veggies if you would like – you could even add Alfredo sauce instead of tomato
This recipe makes enough for 6 VERY hungry people – it is easily can be made into leftovers ( which is what usually happens with my casseroles )
You can cook your chicken any way you want – all I did was sear on the flattop and finish off in the oven till it reached 180 degrees then I shredded it in the food processor – you can use leftover chicken too — whatever floats your boat
If you do make the Chicken Parmesan Baked Pasta Recipe comment and let us know what you thought 🙂

I like to think of myself as a younger modern Italian chef. I like to cook my Italian food, but I like it to be easy. Saw this recipe and thought it was perfect! In the process of baking now. Hubby is very excited. Will let you know how it went! Thanks so much!

I’m always in search of a good pasta recipe and this one didn’t let me down! I purchased frozen pre-shredded chicken and just fried it up (super easy and super quick!). It was such a great dish! I don’t think I would prep it earlier though, as I really feel the noodles would get soggy- but it still was fairly quick. I ended up using 1.5 cans of pasta sauce instead of 1, as 1 just wasn’t nearly enough. Overall, I was very impressed and will be enjoying left-overs for lunch today!

I am glad you liked it 🙂

Can I freeze this? Made a tray (uncooked) to bring to a friend with a new baby, but now won’t make it there til Saturday. Should I cook it first or can I freeze it uncooked?
Dakota
Making this as I type! Hubby and his papa bear wanted Italian and all I could think about is that I always make Italian. Stuffed ricotta shells, lasagna, spaghetti, alfredo… I was running out of recipes! So I went on pinterest, naturally, and stumbled upon this! I wanted to lick my fingers once I combined everything together in the pot! Making this with homemade breadsticks and it will be DELISH. Thanks so much!
Francesca
Can I make this the day before and then keep it in the fridge for a day before cooking it?

Have this in the oven right now, and my apartment smells AMAZING!!!! I breaded the chicken in seasoned breadcrumbs first to make it more authentic chicken parm, and added red pepper flakes with the other seasoning. Can’t wait until my fella gets home so we can eat!
Megan
Looks yummy! Did I read a cup of Basil right? I just made this and thought it sounded like a lot so I wanted to double check. Thanks!
Sara
Yep!
Dustan
I premade this for tonight. I used spiral tri pasta. (don’t fully cook pasta!) Breaded chicken strips, I home made them just like I would Chicken Parmesan. Then cut into pieces. Though I baked them. Put into fridge until ready. I can’t wait to dig in!!
Ashley
Quick Question! I am just learning to cook and I need a little clarification. The recipe calls for tomato sauce. Am I supposed to use tomato paste or tomato sauce for this recipe? Thank you so much for your help! 🙂
Tracy
If it says sauce, use sauce. Tomato paste is very different.
jeri
can you use spaghetti sauce?
Chelle
I plan on cooking this for a dinner party of 10. I was wondering if I should double or triple the recipe

I would triple

how do you cook the chicken
Marta
To cook I would just cube the chicken meat up put cooking oil in a skillet and cook till no longer pink inside. Also, someone asked about tomato paste or sauce, the recipe calls for you favorite Spaghetti sauce, such as Ragu or Prego. But I don’t recommend just plain tomato sauce.
Marta
Hmm I Lied it does call for tomato sauce but I truly belive that to be an error because you can see by the photo she was using Spaghetti sauce.
Kim Kirby
Made the chicken Parmesan baked pasta and it is delish! I added fresh mushrooms and used rotisserie chicken (pulled). Thanks for the recipe!
Melanie
I use diced chicken and bread it instead of shredded chicken. It gives it more of a traditional chicken parm feel (and I don’t have a food processor and shredded chicken with forks is the bane of my existence!)

This was soooo good. I’ve been on a meatball kick lately and I think next time I’m gonna skip the chicken for meatballs. I make my lunches ahead for the week and this was super easy and quick to make and reheated up nicely. Next time though, meatballs.

1 full cup of basil? Isn’t that going to be too much? But I’ll try it anyways! Thanks.
Maria Miller
I added cooked mushrooms and onions, gave it that extra kick. Next time I will add extra sauce. It was a bit dry with one jar of sauce . Great recipe ! Thank you !
Megan
Can you use rotisserie chicken?
Friday Favorites – 03232018 | Mrs. Myles
[…] This is cool for a couple of reasons, namely that it costs a lot less than those pre-portioned packages, and it lasts a lot longer. Once you open the container, you’ve got a month to figure out how to use up the rest of it. I like to add it to pasta sauces and sprinkle it on pizza, in addition to finding other recipes that call for fresh basil (here’s another one I like — Chicken Parmesan Bake). […]
