Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook your chosen pasta according to package instructions for al dente texture, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained pasta, shredded chicken, sliced banana peppers, and Alfredo sauce. Stir until thoroughly mixed.
