Green Chile Cheese Baked Pasta

Step 4: Combine and Assemble

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, cheese sauce, and the green chile mixture. Stir until everything is well coated and evenly distributed.
  3. Pour the pasta mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  4. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese evenly over the top for a cheesy crust.

Step 5: Bake

  1. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  2. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are slightly golden.
  3. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to settle.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

  • Sprinkle fresh cilantro or chopped green onions over the pasta for a pop of color and added freshness.
  • Serve warm and enjoy the delicious blend of creamy cheese and zesty green chiles!
