Recipe Notes
COOK'S TIPS AND RECIPE VARIATIONS:
list of 4 items
• Keep this penne pasta recipe easy by using a package of sliced mushrooms (less prep work!) and pre-sliced chicken breast if you can find it in your grocery
store. You can also use frozen pre-diced onion to avoid any chopping!
• Make the penne pasta recipe vegetarian by omitting the chicken and substituting with a can of drained, rinsed beans or additional vegetables. Nice options
include peas (stir frozen peas in during the final 10 minutes of baking), frozen mixed vegetables, or steamed crisp-tender broccoli florets.
• Make this penne pasta recipe with tuna or canned salmon in lieu of the chicken.
• Can't find the cheddar cheese soup? Substitute with condensed cream of mushroom soup instead!
