Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large baking dish, stir together uncooked pasta, Alfredo sauce, chicken stock, chicken and garlic. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Uncover; give the pasta a good stir. At this point you should check the pasta to make sure that it is al dente (firm but with a tender bite). I have had good luck with the 30-minute cook time; however, some readers have noted that it required about 10 or 15 minutes longer. If it's still too hard after 30 minutes, just cover the dish and return to the oven until pasta is al dente. Then move on to the next step.
- Sprinkle mozzarella over the top. Bake uncovered for 8-10 more minutes (or until cheese is melted and pasta is tender).
- Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan or fresh chopped herbs, if desired.

CREAMY CHICKEN AND WIDE NOODLES (ALMOST FETTUCCINE)
Almost Fettuccine describes this recipe. You do however use the wide noodles instead of fettucinne noodles. The whipping cream, and the added Alfredo sauce mix gives it a rich, smooth taste. I got this recipe from Southern Living years ago, but revised portions of it. It is a recipe my family ask for.

Tips:
- For a creamier Alfredo sauce, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- If you don't have any Parmesan cheese on hand, you can use another hard cheese, such as Asiago or Romano.
- If you want a thicker sauce, add more cheese or cornstarch.
- To make the dish ahead of time, cook the chicken and noodles according to the package directions, then store them separately in the refrigerator. When you're ready to serve, heat up the Alfredo sauce and add the chicken and noodles.
- Serve with a side of crusty bread or a salad.
