Notes

The pasta will continue to cook in the oven so if you don’t like mushy pasta, try cooking it until it’s just at the al dente stage (firm with a bit of a bite or chew to it without being too hard or chalky).
If the sauce is too thick and dry when reheating leftovers, loosen it up with a splash of milk, stir to mix and reheat.
Substitute chicken – Substitute chicken with turkey for a healthier option.
Mix and match soups – Substitute two cans of cream of chicken soup with a mix like cream of chicken and mushroom.
Mix and match cheese – Combine mozzarella with other cheeses like cheddar, Monterey Jack or Colby.
Add some veggies – Sneak in some veggies like peas, broccoli, or mushrooms.
Add more flavor – Throw in additional seasonings like Italian seasoning, paprika, red pepper flakes or onion powder for more flavor.
Add a buttery crisp topping – Substitute the cheese topping with a mix of panko, melted butter, Parmesan and fresh parsley.
