    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

      I’m planning to make this and am wondering if you cook the pasta before putting it into the casserole? We use Tinkyada. Thanks!

        Hi Ann. No, you don't need to cook the pasta before adding it into the casserole. The pasta will cook in the oven with all the juices. I also either use Tinkyada or Jovial pasta for this recipe. ~Elaine
