This is a pretty time and labor intensive recipe if you do it all from 'scratch,' start to finish. So pick and choose how, and/or if, you want to cut corners = rotisserie chicken, packaged/canned chicken broth, canned beans, fresh spinach instead of fresh kale (spinach doesn't need pre-cooking) are all examples.


Once everything is assembled as shown in the second picture, put a layer of each in a glass baking pan. First the chicken-kale mixture in the bowl, then the pasta, then the roasted vegetables. Drizzle with the Olive-Alfredo sauce, top with shredded parmesan. Refrigerate or freeze now if you'd like.

When ready to eat, (defrost) then bake at 300°
for 20-25 minutes. . .Lin
