You'll add this easy to prepare meal to your dinner rotation after just one bite. It's flavorful and creamy, and tastes a bit like Alfredo but with a zesty Italian salad dressing flavor.

• 16 oz. bottle Olive Garden Italian dressing (or other favorite Italian dressing)
• 1/2 c. freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided
• 1/4 t. black pepper
• 8 oz. block cream cheese

2. When the cooking time is almost done, start cooking the pasta as directed on the package; drain.
3. Shred the chicken with 2 forks.
