This easy recipe for gluten free chicken parmesan pasta casserole is a perfect weeknight meal. It's oven baked with gluten free penne pasta and marinara sauce. This gluten free pasta recipes is cheesy and delicious!
I love to use my cast iron skillet to make this recipe a one pan meal, but you could also use a frying pan and then a 9x13 baking dish to make this recipe. Another option would be to use a 6-7 quart dutch oven.
How do I clean and season my cast iron skillet?
I love to cook with cast iron. It evenly heats and is easy to clean. I like to use this U-picks Cast Iron Skillet Cleaner Chainmail Scrubber that I got from Amazon. I rinse the pan with hot water to remove any loose food and leftover oil. Then I use the chainmail scrubber to lift up any bits of food left.
I place the pan on the stove top at medium heat and let it dry completely. Then I pour a tablespoon of oil on the pan and rub it onto the entire inside of the pan with a paper towel. Remove the skillet from heat and it's ready for your next meal.
Remember to never put your cast iron skillet into the dishwasher.

What type of pasta should I use for this casserole?
I'm a big fan of gluten free brown rice pasta. I like how well it holds up to being baked and doesn't get soggy. I also think brown rice pasta has a nice texture and is the closest thing I've found to regular wheat pasta.
Some of my favorite brown rice pasta brands are: Jovial, Tinkyada, Trader Joe's
