Boil Reames® frozen egg noodles in a large pot according to package directions. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350F degrees.
Drain well. Turn heat off and place noodles back into pot. Stir in alfredo sauce, basil, milk, chicken and garlic.
Pour noodle mixture into uncreased 9x13-inch baking dish. Crush croutons.
Sprinkle crushed croutons on top of casserole. If using the melted butter, evenly drizzle it on top of the crushed croutons.
Cover casserole with aluminum foil and bake at for 20 minutes.
Then carefully remove foil and cook for an additional 10 minutes (until crouton topping is golden brown.) Then serve.
Notes
The melted butter on top is completely optional. If you like a more crispy and golden top crust then add it.
If you can't find Reames frozen egg noodles you can use another brand that is similar or purchase the dried bagged egg noodles usually found in the pasta section of your grocery store. If you are using the dried bagged egg or no yolk noodles, do not add the additional milk in the recipe.
If you can't find basil Alfredo sauce. Just add 2 Tablespoons of basil paste (found in the produce section of your grocery store) and mix it in when you add the Alfredo sauce to the pot. Alternatively, you can buy a jar of basil pesto. Stir together the Alfredo sauce and 1/3 cup of the basil pesto together and proceed with the recipe.
For even more Italian flavor, try adding in 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning.
