Italian Chicken Pasta Bake

This was a new recipe for me. I really liked it and didn't get any complaints from the kids. Which rarely happens.

Italian Chicken Pasta Bake

1/4 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, crushed
8 0unces mushrooms (fresh or canned)
2 small zucchini, diced
2 (14.5 oz) cans crushed or diced tomatoes
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp sugar
1 rotisserie chicken deboned and broken into chunks
1 pkg (8 oz) shredded Itailian cheese blend
2 (9 0z) pkg fresh pasta, uncooked- (I used 3 cheese tortellini, the recipe calls for chicken & bacon borsetti but I couldn't find it.)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with cooking spray.

Heat large skillet and spray with cooking spray. Add onion and garlic, saute for 1 minute.

Add mushrooms and zucchini and saute for 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, italian seasoning, salt, pepper and sugar. Stir to combine.

Remove from heat, add 1 cup cheese. Stir. Spread uncooked pasta evenly on the bottom of baking dish. Top with chicken and vegetable mixture, making sure the pasta is covered. Sprinkle with remaining cheese on top.

Bake uncovered for 20 minutes, until heated through and cheese is melted and bubbly. Let stand for 5 minutes.
