4 Cheese and Pesto Italian Baked Spaghetti


A WONDERFUL day for geochaching with just the four of us! Spent 5 hours outside tramping around mountain tops, finding trinkets and enjoying the fresh air! When we got home, we all pitched in getting dinner ready. Baked Italian chicken and Paula's pesto spaghetti! The whole prep only took about 20 minutes and we were in the recliners watching football while it baked! This dish has awesome flavor and went great with the chicken! Everyone loved it ad want it again. I loved that that it was flavorful yet not overpowering!
