Notes

  • Perfect Pasta: Be sure to cook the farfalle pasta just until al dente. This way, it won’t get too soft when baked in the creamy sauce.
  • Cream Cheese Softening Tip: Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before mixing, so it blends smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • Shredded Chicken Shortcut: Use a rotisserie chicken from the store to save time and add extra flavor. Just shred it up and it’s ready to go.
  • Mixing Tip: Don’t overmix the chicken and pasta with the creamy sauce—gentle folding will keep the texture light and fluffy.
  • Even Topping: When adding the Ritz cracker topping, make sure it’s spread out evenly for that perfect buttery crunch with every bite.
  • Add Veggies: If you want to sneak in some extra nutrition, feel free to mix in veggies like peas or broccoli before baking.
  • Cheese Swap: You can swap the mozzarella for cheddar or a blend of both if you want a sharper, cheesier flavor.
