Our family may have a slight pasta problem. We could truly eat it every day. Spaghetti, macaroni, ziti, linguine, bowtie, you get the idea. One of my family’s absolute favorites is my cajun chicken pasta. It makes it onto our weekly dinner menu at least every other week. It makes me truly happy because it’s a rare chance to get my son to eat grilled chicken. It is truly delicious, and couldn’t be more simple to make.
~Ingredients~
1 box of penne pasta
1 jar of store bought alfredo sauce
2 cups of finely shredded mozzarella cheese
3 chicken breasts
your choice of cajun seasoning
~ Prep It~
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Grill Your Chicken Breasts and shred with fork. Boil your pasta and drain in a colander.
Spray an oven safe dish with cooking spray, and add your cooked penne pasta. Mix in your container of alfredo sauce and shredded grilled chicken. Gently stir ingredients together in your dish. Sprinkle with cajun seasoning, and cover the entire top with mozzarella cheese.
~Bake It~
Place uncovered in the center of your oven and bake for 20 minutes. Turn your oven’s broiler on high and leave your dish in until the top of your cheese is slightly brown. (You can skip the broiling if you like.)
~Plate It~
Place a serving on your plate with a nice salad (I paired mine with a grilled romaine salad). Top with fresh parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes!
The garlic chicken I made last night. Brown sugar overflowed, dripped all over the oven, caramelized, and then hardened as it cooled. That should be fun the next time I turn it on!
It’s not a recipe but it definitely leaves my oven a mess…using my oven to fry bacon! I love frying bacon in the oven because the greasy mess is contained there and not floating in the air and landing on my kitchen cabinets and hood vent. Plus, I cook it on a rack on top of a pan so all the grease drips into the pan!

Browning the butter for DutchBabies. And of course blueberry pie. Thanks!
It seems that everytime I bake a berry cobbler, I manage to get berries in the bottom of my oven. I do my bacon in the oven to avoid the mess on my cooktop. Maybe just cooking is the problem, but as it is my favorite thing to do, I just clean and clean.

Every time we make homemade Hawaiian BBQ pizza, it always makes a big mess.
I baked a custard pie yesterday, and spilled egg and milk mixture while placing pie in the oven. What a stinky burned on mess!!! An EasyClean oven would be a blessing for this kitchen klutz!!!
It never fails that my berry or peach cobblers always overflow and drip down the sides of the baking dish, making
the worst sticky messes in my oven.

With the kids helping to cook, it seems ALL my recipes leave the oven messy. But the exploding-baked-potato incident stands out in my mind, I must admit.
Definitely lasagna. I can never stop myself from filling it to the brim and then it just bubbles out. Oh yum!
I love to make a Kahlua cake, but it often drips into the oven… Yummy to eat, gross to clean up! :)
lasagna is the one to get things messy :)

I love to make homemade fruit pies, but I always seem to overfill the shell and they boil out all over leaving my oven messy
pizza
cherry pie
Pumpkin pie…I slosh it getting it into place in the oven.
Lasagna every time.
I tend to overfill my cake pans so I can level them to get a perfect two inch layer, but sometimes they run over into the oven.
When I make my pumpkin bread, even if I skimp on the ingredients, it always explodes or overflows in the oven! Stinky, stinky oven.
Chicken Pot Pie measurements are never exactly right and it definitely overflows sometimes!
My grandma’s apple pie recipe is delicious, but messy whenever I make it!
Big old pile of nachos.

Pizza
The recipe that leaves my oven messy is my enchiladas! I stuff the baking dishes full and use lots of cheese and sauce which, even if I cover them, tends to bubble and slosh over the edge when I pull them out :)

It’s hard to beat a good old gooey apple pie, piled so high it HAS to overflow in the oven. ;)

I tend to overload my Lasagna and that leaves my oven a total mess!

My favorite recipe that leaves the oven super messy is the meatball red sauce pasta bake. My kids love extra sauce and cheese on top. So, it’s always boiling over! I would love to have this LG oven.

Since I’m realtively new to the baking scene, I haven’t had much in the way of mishaps, but I can tell you that making ice cream cupcakes can get really messy when they tip over!

Scalloped potatoes are the worst for me.
home made spaghetti sauce sometimes I make it pretty full and it spills over the sides and makes a mess. I got to hurray and clean it or it will smoke and burn black and stink up my kitchen badly.
One of my favorites (there are so many) is cherry pie, messy but delicious!
