Italian food is always a family pleasing meal and this Baked Alfredo Chicken And Ham Rigatoni With Spinach And Artichokes doesn’t disappoint. Tender cooked pasta mixed with rotisserie chicken and diced ham pairs beautifully with spinach and artichokes. Smothered with alfredo, it makes a winning meal any day of the week.

This Italian inspired alfredo chicken and ham rigatoni casserole, is a one dish meal at our house. Italian themed dishes always seem to get the thumbs up from my boys so, we frequently have pasta. I’m an avid Costco shopper and when I com home from a trip there’s bound to be a rotisserie chicken among my items. Sometimes two. For this pasta casserole, I chose to use an Alfredo sauce that is lighter but not lacking in flavor. The taste is so rich and creamy, my family has no idea I used lighter ingredients to put this pasta dish together. It really hits the spot, with leftovers to boot. That makes me love this Baked Alfredo Chicken And Ham Rigatoni With Spinach And Artichokes even more.

    Melissa, I made this and froze it before baking. Defrosted and baked and it was wonderful! We had it on New Year’s Day and it was very popular. Thanks for a great recipe!
