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.

- Heat the oil a large skillet (with tall sides) or a pot over medium heat. Add the shallot and garlic and cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn.
- Add the white wine (if using) and cook, stirring, until reduced by half, 2-3 minutes.
- Add the chicken broth, milk, uncooked pasta, salt, pepper, oregano and stir to combine. Increase the heat and bring contents in the pot to a boil. Once boiling, immediately reduce the heat to a very light simmer. Cook, simmering and uncovered, stirring frequently until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 15 minutes. be careful and keep an eye on it while it's cooking. You want to stir it very often to prevent the milk for curdling.
- When the pasta is tender, remove from heat. Stir in the butter, parmesan and parsley until the butter has melted and the cheese is well combined. Taste, add more salt-- if desired.
- Serve immediately. Sprinkle a little breadcrumbs and crushed red pepper flakes on top, if you'd like! Enjoy!

- Don't overcook the pasta. Penne should be cooked al dente, meaning it should be tender but still have a slight bite to it.
- Make sure the sauce is thick enough. Alfredo sauce should be creamy and coating, but not too thick or gloppy. If your sauce is too thin, simmer it for a few minutes longer to reduce it.
- Add your favorite toppings. Alfredo penne is a versatile dish that can be topped with a variety of ingredients, such as grilled chicken, shrimp, vegetables, or nuts.
- Serve immediately. Alfredo sauce is best served hot and fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, reheat it gently over low heat until warmed through.
