- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese

- Bring salted water to a boil and cook the penne pasta until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Shred your cooked chicken if not already done.
- If making homemade Alfredo sauce, combine heavy cream, butter, garlic, and Parmesan cheese in a saucepan over medium heat until melted and thickened.

Notes
For lighter sauce, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream. Avoid overcooking pasta as it will continue to cook in oven.
