There are nights when I just want a comforting pasta bake but don\u2019t have the time for a complicated sauce. That\u2019s where this creamy chicken mushroom rigatoni comes in. This is the type of meal that makes you feel like you put in way more effort than you actually did.<\/p>\n

Everything comes together in one bowl before it hits the oven (which makes for an easy cleanup.) The result is amazing flavor, and unbeatable textures. Creamy in the middle with crispy edges that everyone fights over.<\/p>\n

You can bake this in your oven or take it outside and throw it into a pizza oven if that\u2019s your jam. Using leftover chicken is a huge time saver for an easy chicken pasta night. If you\u2019ve made my grilled chicken halves<\/a>, this is a great way to put those leftovers to great use.<\/p>\n

Why This Chicken Mushroom Pasta Bake Works<\/h2>\n

Roasting the mushrooms and onions brings a deep, savory flavor. It\u2019s one of the easiest ways to level up a creamy chicken pasta bake without any hassle. The mix of ricotta, gruyere, and fontina creates a creamy sauce that clings to every piece of pasta.<\/p>\n

Using a store-bought rotisserie bird works great and keeps this weeknight friendly. But, if you have any leftovers of my brine roasted chicken<\/a> in the fridge, that takes this dish up a notch.<\/p>\n

About the Ingredients<\/h3>\n

A mix of baby bella and shiitake mushrooms gives earthy depth and a meaty bite. They pair perfectly with the richness from the hand shredded cheeses. Sun-dried tomatoes add little bursts of tangy flavor to balance the richness in this creamy chicken pasta bake.<\/p>\n

Now, I love sun-dried tomatoes because they\u2019re super easy. But, if you have the time, my homemade roasted tomatoes<\/a> blow the jarred stuff away. They melt right into the sauce for even more richness. <\/p>\n

Fresh spinach keeps things from feeling too heavy. It wilts into the pasta during the bake, adding color and basically makes this like eating a salad, so there\u2019s no guilt.<\/p>\n
