Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo Pasta Bake

I brought a jar of Alfredo sauce back from the States last year and I have finally got around to using it. I used half to make this lovely chicken and broccoli pasta bake and the other half to make a sausage and potato bake which will appear shortly. This was delicious, I loved the creaminess of the sauce and then the bite of the broccoli. I served it with a green salad.
