I love pasta bakes. They’re so easy to throw together or to make in advance and bake later. Pasta bakes are perfect freezer meals, making wonderful left-overs. They make my life simpler. I especially love taking these types of meals to family and friends.
This Chicken Tetrazzini is all of that – a creamy and cheesy dish that will have your family coming back for seconds.
Traditionally, I have seen Chicken Tetrazzini made with mushrooms and peas, and sometimes even turkey. But my family hates peas – literally, every one of them. So instead, I used chicken, spinach, mushrooms, and cheesy sauce, topped with panko bread crumbs. Delicious and simple. Do you want to save some time on this particular pasta bake? Here’s a tip: Buy a rotisserie chicken from the store. They’re usually fairly cheap, ready-to-go, and delicious. 
I love that Campbell’s Creamy Herb & Garlic Soup made the cheesy sauce simple to make. Add it with some cream cheese, parmesan, and Monterey Jack, and you’re set. I have loved all of the Campbell’s Soups for Cooking, a great line of soups that makes cooking easier. You can find them at Walmart, located next to the classic Campbell’s soups. You can’t miss the small cartons.
This Chicken Tetrazzini will be one of my to-go-to meals when I’m in a bind, taking a meal to a friend, or need to stock up the freezer. In the comments below, share your favorite to-go-to meal.
Enjoy! XOXO San
