The fall season is my favorite time of year for so many reasons. Besides the pumpkin and apple recipes, with cooler temps, baking some of my family’s favorite casserole dishes is a favorite activity.
I just love to break out of baking dishes and fill my home with the lovely scents of baked goods. There is no better feeling than to be in a toasty home with the scents of baked cheese wafting throughout.
That is why the fall is the perfect time for baked casseroles like this Baked Chicken and Broccoli Pasta.
Loaded with the flavors of a classic chicken alfredo dish, this twist on a classic is semi-homemade and so delicious.
The only part I don’t really love about fall cooking is all the dishes I accumulate. Making a pasta bake sadly equates to about 4 pans worth of mess… But, it’s worth it!
Get the recipe below!
