Cheddar cheese is often less expensive and still melts well.

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Boil 16 ounces of ziti pasta until cooked; drain.

In a saucepan, melt 3-4 tablespoons of butter.

Add 2 jars of alfredo sauce to the melted butter.

Pour in 1 cup of milk and whisk together.

Add garlic powder, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and salt to the mixture and whisk until combined.

Add half of the shredded Italian blend cheese to the sauce and whisk until melted, cooking for about 5 minutes while whisking occasionally.

In a greased 9x13 baking dish, add the drained ziti pasta.

Add 2 cups of chopped rotisserie chicken to the pasta and mix well.

Stir in 1 cup of chopped bacon and mix until combined.

Pour the alfredo sauce mixture over the pasta, chicken, and bacon, and mix thoroughly.

Top the casserole with the remaining shredded Italian blend cheese and garnish with fresh parsley.

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes at 350°F.
