pasta, chicken and sage casserole image

Baked pasta dishes are the best! This one is a little different and really quite easy to make. It's a good way to extend chicken. I got this recipe from a Reader's Digest book called The How-To Book of Healthy Cooking....the title goes on. I wonder if the title comes in a condensed version? lol

I'm not a fan of mushrooms, so I omitted them from the recipe. The casserole still turned out great.
