Penne a la Sauce Blance

I started making this dish a couple years ago because it is so delicious! It is inspired by one of my good friends. It's quick, simple and yummy! This is a type of dish that you can whip up in less than 30 minutes, Rachel Ray ain't got nuttin' on me. Just a couple things from your local grocery store a half an hour and wallah you have dinner ready. This is a huge hit with the kids, even the adults. It's cheesy, saucy and full of great flavors.

Things you will need:

1 whole rotisserie chicken (cooked)
2 16 oz boxes of Penne noodles (use only 24 oz)
4 packets of Alfredo Sauce Mix
1 16 oz frozen "California Style" Vegetables
2 cups of shredded mozzarella
1 tsp Herbes de Provence (depending on how seasoned you like your dish)
1 pinch of salt
1 pinch of black pepper
1 pinch of all spice

First your going to want to boil the pasta and the frozen vegetables together. Boil it until the pasta is al dente because the rest of the cooking is going to happen in the oven. While you have the pasta and the vegetable boiling together, go ahead and d-bone the rotisserie chicken, shred and move to the side. Now follow the directions on the Alfredo Sauce Mix and add the herbs to the mix. Keep the sauce on a really low heat. After your pasta and vegetables are done cooking, drain them and put it back into the pot, mix in the chicken and the sauce and stir. Let it simmer for 5 minutes. If your sauce came out dry, don't let it simmer because it still has to cook in the over. Spray your lasagna pan with some non-stick spray. So now that you have your pasta mixture all ready to go, put down the first layer of the mix, and with your 2 cups of mozzarella cheese, spread out 1 cup of cheese and the put another layer of your pasta mix on top of the cheese and for the top layer put the other cup of cheese. Cover it with foil and cook in 350 degrees for the next 10 minutes, then uncover and bake for about 2 minutes on broil just to brown the cheese.

If you decide to make this dish I would love to know all about it. Thanks for reading!
