Ingredients

1 pound cavatappi pasta
21 ounces cream of chicken soup
2 cups half and half
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
1 teaspoon season salt I use Lowry’s brand
½ teaspoon black pepper
3 cups Swiss cheese shredded
2 cups rotisserie chicken diced
1 cup thick sliced deli ham diced
1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
¾ cup plain panko bread crumbs
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a 9×13 casserole dish with nonstick spray. Set aside.
Cook 1 pound cavatappi pasta in a large pot of boiling water, according to package directions, for 7 to 8 minutes or until the pasta is al dente. The pasta should still have a slight bite to it as it will continue to cook and absorb the sauce as it bakes.

Notes

Al dente is the ideal consistency for pasta. The pasta will be tender and will still have a slightly firm texture when you bite into it.
Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to check your casserole at the lower end of the recommended baking time.
