Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package farfalle (bow tie) pasta

  • cooking spray

  • 2 ½ cups chopped, cooked chicken

  • 2 (10 ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup

  • 1 (12 ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped

  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (Optional)

  • 1 (7 ounce) container pesto

  • ¾ cup chopped, drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes

  • 1 (4 ounce) jar diced pimento peppers

  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste (Optional)

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 3 1/2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.

  3. Drain pasta and place in a large bowl. Add cooked chicken, cream of chicken soup, artichoke hearts, 1 cup Parmesan cheese, pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, and pimento peppers; mix to combine. Spoon pasta mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until sauce is bubbly, 35 to 40 minutes.
