Three Cheese Chicken Alfredo Bake – great make-ahead pasta dish. Elbow macaroni, alfredo sauce, sour cream, ricotta, garlic, chicken, eggs, parmesan and mozzarella cheese. SO good!! We make this at least once a month! Can freeze half for later. This is THE BEST pasta casserole we’ve ever eaten!!!

Pin This RecipeEveryday Southern Living tweets a dinner idea. A few days ago they tweeted about a Three Cheese Pasta Bake for dinner. I checked out the recipe and thought it sounded fantastic! I decided to give it a try – with a few changes.
The original recipe used ziti. I didn’t have any ziti; I only had elbow macaroni. I went with the elbow macaroni and it was fine. I also added chicken to make this more of a meal than a side dish. This was SO good! It was even good reheated the next day for lunch. If you don’t like ricotta, try substituting cottage cheese. I halved the recipe below and it was enough for at least 4 or 5 people.

- 1 (16-oz) package penne or elbow macaroni

- 3 cups chopped cooked chicken

Made this tonight. Recipe is killer and spot-on. Thanks
On your three cheese chicken bake. Could we substitute the noodles for cheese tortellini?
I’m sure that would be fine
I made this tonight. It was very good. My question is I made the recipe as is. for three people can I freeze this already cooked and reheat later?
yes
Can this be frozen and then cooked
Sure! Just thaw completely and bake as directed above. Enjoy!
Is there anything that can be substituted for the ricotta cheese?! My husband can’t eat ricotta cheese.
Any changes and substitutions to the recipe would be up to you.
I'm finding this recipe nine years after you posted it! I had wanted to add rotisserie chicken, but when I went to put it in, I felt it was a few days beyond what we should use. I thought of heading out to pick up another chicken, but then I thought … hmmm, what do I have on hand that I can use? I had some frozen italian meatballs, so I heated those and added them into the mix instead of the chicken. Oh – so – good! Thanks for this recipe!
looks good but I would use ground beef instead of chicken
Made this for memorial weekend. Great ! Big hit ! Will make again.
Wondering how many days ahead this could be made before baking it?
TURNED OUT JUST LIKE THE PICTURE! GREAT DINNER
I plan to make this. Will make and divide into two separate casserole pans. One goes to our Pastor's family.
Do you think crushed ritz crackers would be good on it or no?
instead of chicken im going to use shrimp
