Ingredients
- 1 pound rotini cooked and drained

- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning store-bought or homemade
- 16 ounce can Alfredo Sauce
- ½ cup ranch dressing
- 1 ¼ cup mozzarella cheese

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a large skillet or pan, combine the olive oil, chicken, and ranch powder. Cook the chicken over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Once the chicken is cooked all the way through, add the alfredo sauce and ranch. Stir to combine.
- Dump the pasta into a 9x13 inch glass baking dish. Add the chicken mixture and fold to combine, ensuring the pasta is fully coated in the sauce.
- Top the pasta dish with mozzarella and bacon. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 25 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy!

Notes
- You can serve this casserole as is or top it with some fresh parsley or chives. Both of these pair wonderfully with the ranch flavor in the casserole.
- Freshly shredded mozzarella cheese will melt better, but you can use pre-shredded cheese as well.
- Store your leftover casserole in the fridge for up to 4 days. Simply cover the pan with plastic wrap or transfer the casserole to an airtight container. Your casserole can be reheated in the microwave for about 1 ½ minutes.
- In addition to using rotini, you can use penne, bowtie, etc. Other than spaghetti and fettuccine, the type of pasta you use will not have a big effect on the outcome of the dish.
