Costco Chicken Bake Pasta

Ingredients

• 900g chicken breast, cooked and cubed
• 1 box (16oz) pasta
• 160g Bolthouse Caesar dressing
• 160g fat-free cottage cheese, blended with 100mL fat-free milk
• 10 slices center-cut bacon, cooked and chopped
• 70mL reserved pasta water
• Green onions, chopped
• Black pepper

Directions

• Cook and cube the chicken breast. Cook the pasta and reserve 70mL of the pasta water. Cook and chop the bacon.
• Blend the cottage cheese with the milk until smooth, then stir in the Caesar dressing to make the sauce.
• Combine the pasta, chicken, bacon, green onions and sauce; season with black pepper and loosen with the reserved pasta water. Makes 5-6 meal-prep servings (about 630 cal / 58g protein each).

NOTE: When reheating in the microwave, add a splash of water so it mixes back saucier. Do not stir hot pasta or hot water directly into the sauce and do not heat the sauce in a pan — it will curdle; it holds together fine when microwaved. From Calvin Kang / cooklikeimbook on Instagram.
