Instructions
Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. You gotta get it ready before you even start layering.
Cook those dried noodles 'til they're al dente. Don't forget to drain 'em well and set aside so they won't stick.
Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat, then toss in garlic. Stir it for about a minute 'til it smells amazing but doesn't burn.
Sprinkle in your flour and stir for one to two minutes 'til it's kinda browned. This helps thicken up the sauce later.
Gradually whisk in heavy cream or your milk mix and keep stirring 'til the sauce is thick and smooth.
Add cream cheese, nutmeg, black pepper, and half the Parmesan cheese. Mix 'til creamy and combined.
In your baking dish spread sauce first, then noodle layer, keep layering sauce and noodles until you're finishing with sauce on top. Don't forget to add your shredded chicken and mozzarella between layers.
Sprinkle the rest of the Parmesan on top. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes, then take off foil and bake another 5 minutes so it gets golden and bubbly. Let it cool for 10 minutes before you slice into it.
