Rigatoni Cheese Bake

So for today's recipe, I made a Rigatoni Cheese Bake. It sounds simple to make because it is super simple. All the ingredients used in today's recipe you can get at Trader Joe's, which is where I went, or you can easily get them at any grocery store. What will I need, you might ask? Here are the materials:


1 pound Rigatoni Pasta
7 Slices of Mozzarella Cheese
2 18 oz Jars of Tomato or Marinara Sauce
2 cups of Pre-Cooked Chicken Breast, cut up
1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1. Preheat the oven to 350 Degrees F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and cook the pasta. While the pasta is cooking, cut the chicken up into small, spreadable pieces. 

2. Coat a 9 x 13 pan with a tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and spread it around the pan. Then pour one of the jars of Marinara sauce onto the oil. 


3. Once the pasta is cooked, drain the pasta, and pour the pasta over the sauce in the pan. Be careful, the pasta will be hot!



4. Now take the chicken you have cut up, and spread that over the noodles. 

5. Now pour the second jar of on top of the chicken and noodles.

6. Top the chicken, sauce, and noodles with the slices of mozzarella cheese, and cover with foil. Be careful that the foil doesn't touch the cheese otherwise the two will become best friends and stick together!

7. Now bake that for 15 minutes covered, take it out, take off the foil, and cook it for another 10 uncovered. And bam, you have delicious, cheesy, saucy, pasta!
