Step 1

Prep oven and baking dish. Heat oven to 375°F. Mist a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2

Cook the pasta. Cook the pasta in a large stockpot of generously-salted boiling water until it is just shy of al dente.

Step 3

Mix everything together. Drain and return pasta to the stockpot. Add chicken and marinara sauce and gently toss until combined.

Step 4

Layer. Pour half of the pasta into the baking dish and spread in an even layer. Sprinkle evenly with 1 cup mozzarella, ½ cup Parmesan, and all of the basil. Layer on the remaining pasta, followed by 1 cup mozzarella and ¼ cup Parmesan.

Step 5

Bake. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and lightly golden. Transfer the pan to a wire baking rack and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Step 6

Serve. Serve warm, sprinkled with any extra garnishes that you would like. Enjoy!
