01of 20Cheesy Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo Skillet CasserolePhotographer: Stacy k. Allen, Props: Christina Brockman, Food Stylist: Jennifer WendorfThis delightful one-skillet cheesy chicken Alfredo casserole combines penne pasta, tender broccoli and shredded rotisserie chicken smothered in a creamy sauce. To simplify the sauce, we opt for a pre-shredded Italian cheese blend. Though cheese blends vary, they typically contain Parmesan cheese, imparting the traditional Alfredo flavor. Seek blends with aged cheeses or blends that include sharp cheeses like provolone or Asiago for a richer flavor profile.View Recipe

08of 20Veggie LasagnaPhotographer: Jennifer Causey, Food Stylist: Julian Hensarling, Prop Stylist: Christina DaleyEvery layer of this delicious veggie lasagna has its own flavor profile. Cooking the vegetables before assembling the lasagna ensures the dish won’t be soggy. Be sure to squeeze the spinach well—spinach holds a surprising amount of water that will make your lasagna soupy. Lightly coat the foil with cooking spray before covering the lasagna to prevent the cheese from sticking. Serve with a mixed green salad and crusty garlic bread.View Recipe
