Can you believe that in my 300 published posts I don’t have a single cheesy pasta recipe? I am so kidding. But can you blame me for loving cheesy pasta dishes? I live for cheese, pasta, chocolate, and wine. I’m pretty much a cliche.
This dish is very rich but it’s also loaded with protein 🙂 I love chicken and shrimp mixtures. I love paella. Oh, and I love this chicken and shrimp pasta bake. You can serve this dish with these delicious cheese garlic biscuits or a side salad.
