05of 11Cheesy Chicken Pasta BakePhotographer: Jen Causey, Food Stylist: Torie Cox, Prop Stylist: Claire SpollenThis chicken pasta bake is cheesy with a smoky kick, thanks to the combination of chipotle peppers and smoked Gouda cheese.

Serve with a simple side salad or garlic-roasted broccoli.View Recipe
