Love the Applebee's 3 Cheese Penne? This is a copycat recipe that is delicious and easy to make.
Cook the penne pasta as directed on the box. Cook al dente (1-2 minutes less than recommended)
Prepare the Alfredo sauce
Put the cream cheese, milk, flour, and salt into a blender and mix together. Set aside.
Melt the butter in a sauce pan on medium heat. Then add the garlic and heat for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until bubbly.
Add the mixture from the blender and stir constantly for 3-4 minutes. Then let it cook for 2-3 minutes more until it is a little thicker.
Add the Parmesan cheese, stir and remove from heat. Cover and let sit for 10 minutes.
Add noodles to casserole dish and pour sauce over noodles.
Add the chicken. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees
While the pasta is baking, prepared the Bruschetta. Diced all the tomatoes, garlic and basil and then mix it all up with the olive oil. Set aside. Add to pasta when done cooking.
