Why We Love This Casserole

  • Veggies, veggies, and more Veggies.
  • Most chicken tetrazzini recipes use canned soup, but not this one! It’s made with an easy cheesy bechamel sauce that turns out extra creamy.
  • There’s no need to cook chicken because this recipe uses rotisserie chicken.
  • We love the extra crispy pieces of pasta that brown up on the top as you cook the casserole. And then the center is creamy and cheesy.
