CHEESY CHICKEN ALFREDO RIGATONI

Steps:

• Melt butter over medium-low heat. Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Add heavy cream. Keep heat on medium-low, stirring frequently, until lightly bubbling.
• Slowly add cheese while stirring. Turn heat down a bit and continue to cook until desired thickness is reached.
• Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Boil your noodles until they are about 1/2 to 2/3 done, and then drain well. Place noodles, broccoli, and chicken into an oven-safe 9x13 casserole dish that's been lightly sprayed with cooking spray. Pour sauce over the top, and top the whole thing with mozzarella cheese.
• Bake pasta for 30-40 minutes. If the cheese starts to brown, cover with tin foil and move casserole to a lower rack.
