Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Ensuring the oven is fully preheated will help cook the pasta evenly.📌

In a single baking pan, combine the uncooked pasta, Alfredo sauce, chicken broth, and shredded chicken.

Any shape of pasta will work, but shells were used in the original recipe.📌

Season the mixture with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined and the pasta is submerged in the liquid.

Taste the mixture before baking to adjust salt and pepper according to your preference.📌

Cover the baking pan tightly with aluminum foil.

A tight seal helps trap steam, allowing the pasta to cook properly without drying out.📌

Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes.

Baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven and pasta type. Check for tenderness after 40 minutes.📌

Remove the pan from the oven, uncover it, and give the mixture a good stir. Even if it hasn't absorbed all the liquid yet, proceed to the next step.

Stirring helps prevent sticking and ensures even cooking of the pasta.📌

Generously sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the top of the pasta mixture.

Feel free to use more or less cheese depending on your preference for cheesiness.📌

Return the uncovered pan to the oven and bake for another 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown, and the sauce has been mostly absorbed.

Keep an eye on the cheese to prevent burning. If it browns too quickly, you can loosely tent it with foil.📌
