Easy Alfredo Bake

I wanted to make chicken alfredo, but I wanted to try it a little bit like baked spaghetti. To make this really simple I used a package of store bought pre-cooked, sliced chicken breast I had in my freezer.
Additionally, I did not add any salt other than what I used to season the pasta water. The salt content of each ingredient was enough for our taste.

Cooking is a hobby and a passion of mine. I love cooking and trying new and different things. The best thing about cooking? I get to prepare delicious food for my family and friends that they (almost) always love! Lol.Many of my recipes are experiments in what I could make with what was available at the time. Many are simply my version of classic and/or popular dishes. A few are variations of recipes I have found elsewhere online but adjusted to our tastes. No matter what, though, each of my recipes is tried and tested before posting and I hope you find as much joy in preparing them as I do.
