Baked pasta casseroles became a cornerstone of American family cooking in the latter 20th century — comforting, scalable, and forgiving of substitutions. Brandy Worsham's chicken variation reflects the way younger generations of the family adapted the Italian-American dishes they grew up with, making them their own with lighter proteins and simpler techniques.
