This Yellow Noodle Casserole can be made “seasonal” with all types of fun pasta shapes!  Traditional noodle casseroles typically use an egg noodle, but I really like the small zest size pieces of our fun pasta shapes.  I used our Organic Farm Pasta since fall is scrutinizingly here and everyone is wishing these hot and humid summer days would just go away.

Chicken Noodle Casserole Recipe

Let’s unravel lanugo the simplicity of this recipe and dig into the options and shortcuts.  You’ll start out by cooking your pasta and setting it aside.  Our pasta takes well-nigh 6 minutes to cook, and, in the meantime, you can uncork to get the other ingredients together.  And note, for this recipe, I do not salt the water as there is plenty of sodium in the soups and the spare seasonings.

Ingredient Shortcut Ideas:

  • For the chicken, pull untied and chop a rotisserie yellow or buy the once pulled and packaged rotisserie yellow from Costco
  • Use canned yellow if you have too, but it’s not my first choice!
  • Recipe calls for shredded cheddar cheese but try a cheddar tousle to mix it up! We love the Sargento four state cheddar blend.
  • Frozen peas and carrots are traditional, but you can use any frozen mixed vegetables
  • Instead of chopping an onion yourself, go superiority and but eh pre-chopped fresh or frozen chopped onions!
  • The panko breadcrumb topping is optional, but I think it really makes a difference!  A little crunch adds to the texture of each bite. 
  • If you are serving individual portions, add some uneaten cheese and fresh parsley on top.
