Ingredients
Method
- Cook the pasta Cook the penne pasta according to package directions. Before draining, reserve about 1 cup of the pasta water. Drain the pasta and set aside (do not rinse).
- Cook the mushrooms In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water to help keep the mushrooms from drying out while they cook. Sauté until tender.
- Add the chicken Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken and cook until warmed through. Remove from heat.
- Combine everything Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and stir to combine with the chicken and mushrooms. Add the spinach artichoke dip and mix until everything is evenly coated.
- Adjust the sauce Pour in 1/2 to 1 cup of the reserved pasta water, a little at a time, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
- Assemble and bake Transfer the mixture to a casserole dish and top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
- Add extra cheese on top if you want it extra gooey (highly recommend 👀)
- You can swap penne for any pasta you have on hand
- Want a little kick? Add red pepper flakes!
