Adding cream cheese to the final product takes this delicious dinner over the top!  I have come to the conclusion that cream cheese should be mandatory in every recipe.  The secret to keeping the ingredient list small for this 4 Ingredient Creamy Chicken Pasta Bake are these new Ragu Homestyle Pasta Sauces.  With its delicious bold flavor, without artificial flavors, colors, or high fructose corn syrup, you don’t need a bunch of seasonings to make this recipe pack a punch! You need just 4 ingredients to make this recipe, and even the chicken can start from frozen, how easy is that?
