Steps
Cook at least 6 bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until browned and crisp. Transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate, let them cool slightly, and crumble or chop them into small pieces.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190 °C) (190°C (375 °F)). Lightly coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set it aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cellentani pasta and cook according to the package directions until tender but not mushy. Drain well.
Transfer the drained pasta to the prepared baking dish and spread it across the bottom.
Add the cooked rotisserie chicken, Alfredo sauce, and ranch seasoning mix to the baking dish. Stir until the pasta and chicken are evenly coated.
Add part of the shredded mozzarella, cheddar, and crumbled bacon to the pasta mixture, reserving some of each for the topping. Stir gently until distributed throughout.
Spread the mixture into an even layer. Sprinkle the reserved cheddar, mozzarella, and crumbled bacon over the top.
Bake uncovered at 375°F (190 °C) (190°C (375 °F)) for about 15–20 minutes, until the casserole is heated through and the cheese on top is melted and bubbling.
Remove the pasta bake from the oven, sprinkle with parsley, and serve hot.
Notes
The recipe uses cooked rotisserie chicken and pre-cooked bacon for convenience. Use the package directions for the pasta; avoid overcooking it because it will continue cooking in the oven. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days and reheat until hot.
