BBQ CHICKEN & PASTA CASSEROLE
This casserole is the very first dish which I concocted. I threw this together many years back with my boys in mind. I used ingredients which I knew they would like, but made it healthy to satisfy me. They loved it, as did my husband, and they still request it today. It's great with Italian or French bread!
