3704. CHEESY CHICKEN and BACON ZITI

1 (16-oz) package ziti or penne
2 (10-oz) containers refrigerated Alfredo sauce
1 cup sour cream
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cut into bite sized pieces
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 (15-oz) Ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided in half
1/4 cup grated Romano cheese
1/4 cup minced fresh flat leaf parsley
4 slices bacon, cooked and drained
1-3/4 cup shredded Mozzarella

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain it and return it to the pot. Add the Alfredo, sour cream, and chicken. Spoon half into a 13" x 9" pan that has been lightly buttered. Combine the eggs, Ricotta, 1/4 cup Parmesan, Romano, parsley, and bacon (in that order) in a medium-size bowl and spread the mixture over the pasta. Top with the remaining pasta and then sprinkle with the Mozzarella and remaining Parmesan. Cover and bake for 50 minutes. Uncover and bake for about 10 minutes more, or until cheese is bubbly. Let it sit for about 10 minutes before serving.
