My daughter absolutely loves my Chicken Marsala Recipe. If I ask her what I should make for dinner she usually answers Chicken Marsala. And if there are any leftovers, she hoards them for her lunch.

One afternoonI discovered some leftover pasta in the fridge and my daughter suggested that I adapt my Chicken Marsala recipe and use the leftover pasta to make a Chicken Marsala Casserole. It was a brilliant (and delicious) suggestion! I have since made the recipe multiple times.

This recipe only calls for 8 ounces ofpasta. Most bags of rotini pasta contain 16 ounces of pasta making this a really easy recipe to double. I can prep two casseroles, bake one, and put the other one in the freezer for an easy dinner on a busy night. If you choose to double the recipe to make one for the freezer, pull the frozen casseroleout the morning of the day you wish to bake it and let it thaw in the refrigerator then bake as directed.

Marsala is a fairly inexpensive wine, but if you can’t find it you can substitute white wine, dry sherry, broth or a combination of the three. I have even used 3/4 cup of Chardonnay and 1/4 cup of sparkling apple cider with good results.

Sp0on the pasta in to the casserole pan. Spread the chicken and mushrooms over the top of the pasta. Then sprinkle cheese and green onions over the chicken. If you have doubled the recipe, cover one of the casseroles with foil and freeze. Bake the other one at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
