Baked ziti has nothing on this rigatoni bake with chicken and bell peppers!
This probably my most favorite of the recipes I've made so far. It's just absolutely delicious :)
Mad props to Kraft.com for this one because the cheeses and sweet peppers are so good with a red sauced-pasta bake.

What you need:
- 3 cups rigatoni, uncooked
- 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite size pieces
- 1 each large red and green peppers, coarsely chopped
- 1 jar (24 oz.) spaghetti sauce
- 2 oz. cream cheese, cubed
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

- Meanwhile, cook pasta as directed on package.
- Add peppers to chicken; cook and stir 3 minutes.
- Stir in spaghetti sauce; simmer 6 to 8 minutes or until chicken is done and peppers are crisp-tender, stirring occasionally.
- Add cream cheese; cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes or until melted. Drain pasta. Add to chicken mixture; toss to coat.
- Spoon half into 8- or 9-inch square baking dish or a casserole dish. Top with 1/2 cup mozzarella and 2 tbsp. Parmesan. Repeat layers.
