My kids like this next recipe so much that they've said, "Mom, dinner was really good. Can we have it again tomorrow night?" Now, that works for me!

What you'll need
- 1 pound spaghetti, or other pasta, cooked to desired doneness
- 1 24oz jar of your favorite pasta sauce
- 4-6 breaded chicken patties OR un-breaded, cooked chicken breasts (I do this more often than not)
- 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Helpful Tip:
It's important to add sauce to the pasta before placing the dish in the oven; plain pasta doesn't bake as well. My kids like this even without the chicken.
Notes:
Serves 4-6
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray a lasagna dish or other rectangular baking pan with cooking spray.
- Toss cooked pasta and 2/3 jar of sauce together and spread evenly into pan.
- Sprinkle spaghetti with 1/2 cup of mozzarella.
- Top with chicken patties. Pour remaining sauce over all and sprinkle with the rest of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
- Cover with foil and bake for 20-30 minutes until heated through.
- Serve each chicken patty with spaghetti underneath.
