The Ultimate Creamy Baked Penne Pasta
Preparation
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking.
Prepare the Baking Dish:
In a large ovenproof dish, spread 300 grams of cream cheese evenly across the bottom. This forms the creamy base of your pasta.
Add the Pasta and Sauce:
Add 400 grams of uncooked penne pasta into the dish.
Pour 400 grams of Alfredo sauce over the pasta, ensuring it covers the pasta evenly.
Add the Cheeses:
Sprinkle 250 grams of grated mozzarella cheese over the pasta and sauce. This will melt and create a gooey, cheesy layer.
Season the Mixture:
Season the mixture with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Add 4 teaspoons of garlic paste for a rich, garlicky flavor.
Sprinkle a pinch of dried parsley for a hint of herbal taste.
Add Liquids:
Pour 400 milliliters of heavy cream and 400 milliliters of chicken broth into the dish. These liquids will cook the pasta and create a luxurious, creamy sauce.
Add Parmesan and Butter:
Sprinkle 100 grams of grated Parmesan cheese over the mixture for an extra cheesy kick.
Dot the top with 80 grams of unsalted butter cut into small cubes. The butter will melt and blend with the other ingredients, adding richness.
