Cheesy Chicken Pinterest Pasta

Given how hectic and chaotic our family life is I make a point of going to Dinner Done once a month to stock up on freezer meals. I love that I can prep 12-15 meals in under 2 hours and not have to do any of the clean-up. But every now and then I run out of meals before the end of the month. That's exactly what happened this week.


I used to cook a lot. I had a pretty good rotation of meals and was able to try out a new recipe or two each week as well. But since I've started doing freezer meals I feel like I can't put something together on the fly like I used to be able to. Thankfully today was another day saved by Pinterest!


I saw this recipe today and knew that with a few simple additions and modifications based on what I had on hand it would become a family favorite. And I was right!


I added some boneless, skinless chicken thighs for some extra protein.

 And ricotta cheese in place of the heavy cream since that's what I had.
I also put mine under the broiler to brown the cheese rather than just in the oven to melt.
It was super hot {I didn't love this picture but I captured the steam so I had to include it!} and super yummy. Definitely a hit.
So good that I wrote it all down so that we can have it again.


Enjoy!
