Baked Chicken Spaghetti

I learned about this dish from my sister’s friend when he brought it to her place on a New Year’s Eve potluck dinner party. It was so good, I asked for the recipe. With some few changes, I was able to produce this creamy and delicious baked chicken spaghetti. In this recipe, I used store bought rotisserie chicken meat because I find it more flavorful and of course economical. Just like other spaghetti recipes, the pasta noodles and sauce were cooked separately. But instead of tossing them together, they were assembled in layers in a casserole dish, sprinkled with grated cheese and then baked. The result was this dish that is not only pleasing to the eye (gooey) but also to the taste buds (yummy). I am glad I made a big batch; I was able to share it with some relatives.
