For an extra layer of flavor, consider sautéing some finely chopped onions and garlic in butter before adding them to the sauce. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is highly recommended for its superior flavor and melting qualities. If you prefer a richer casserole, substitute heavy cream for the sour cream. Feel free to add other vegetables like diced carrots, bell peppers, or mushrooms. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
02
StepBring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add rigatoni and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain well.
03
StepIn a large bowl, gently combine the condensed soup, drained chicken, thawed peas, sour cream, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and kosher salt. Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
04
StepAdd the cooked rigatoni to the sauce and toss gently until each piece is lovingly coated.
05
StepPour the mixture into a 2 1/2- to 3-quart casserole dish. Sprinkle generously with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, ensuring an even blanket of cheesy goodness.
06
StepLightly spray the top with cooking spray to encourage a beautiful golden-brown crust.
07
StepBake in the preheated oven until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden brown, approximately 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
08
StepRemove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the casserole to set slightly.
