CHICKEN CAESAR PASTA CASSEROLE
I finally decided to post this. I have made this recipe for years. Last year, I transformed this recipe and created Recipe#195066! I like to use a store-bought roasted chicken and an assorted bag of pasta that has penne, spirals, bowties and shells!! This recipe also works well with tortellini! I can't remember where this recipe originally came from... Enjoy!
