Four Cheese Chicken Pasta Bake

Let me start by saying I was not a big cheese fan until I met my husband. His four major food groups in no particular order are meat, ranch dressing, cheese, and more cheese. And it doesn’t matter what kind. He’s infamous at Colorado State University for hustling a giant 35 lb. cheese wheel from the staff at the Allison Hall cafeteria, which lasted him and his roommates all of 3 weeks. They even removed the lower two shelves from their fridge for the behemoth cheddar block to reside. He was also the first person to make me a blue-cheese sauce (for steaks of course) while we were dating. And although I already loved him, this definitely was an added bonus.
