Dump-and-bake Chicken Pesto Alfredo Pasta
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish or spray with nonstick cooking spray.

  2. In the prepared baking dish (or in a separate large bowl), whisk together the Alfredo sauce, broth, wine, pesto, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir in the chicken, uncooked pasta, and diced tomatoes. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes.

  3. Uncover; stir gently with a fork. At this point you should check the pasta to make sure that it is al dente (firm but just about finished cooking). If it’s still too hard, cover the dish and return to the oven until pasta is al dente. Then move on to the next step.

  4. Stir the spinach into the pasta. Sprinkle the cheese over the top. Place the dish under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, just until the cheese melts and starts to get crispy on top. Watch the dish the entire time since the food can burn quickly under the broiler! Garnish with chopped fresh herbs and serve.
