INGREDIENTS
  

  • 10 ounces gluten-free penne pasta cooked al dente
  • 3 cups diced cooked chicken
  • 3 tablespoons butter or ghee
  • 2 tablespoons flour, gluten-free if using
  • 1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • ¾ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese divided use
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • cooking spray
  • 2 tablespoon parsley chopped

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Use leftover chicken or pan fry it for a couple of minutes until done.
  • Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
  • Pour in the milk and cream in batches, then simmer, whisking constantly, until the sauce has just thickened. The sauce is ready when it coats the back of a wooden spoon.
  • Season with salt and black pepper.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in parmesan. Stir continuously until the cheese is melted.
  • In a large bowl combine pasta, and chicken and pour in the sauce. Combine and mix well until all the paste is nicely coated in the sauce mixture.
  • Grease a baking dish (I used 8x11) lightly with oil or butter. Transfer half of the pasta mixture to the dish and top with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese. Repeat with one more layer of pasta and cheese.
  • Bake for 20 minutes (uncovered), until cheese is melted and golden brown.
  • Serve with fresh parsley.
