Pasta cooked down in half the time & kids say they want it more watery/creamy. Therefore, cook pasta till al dente (3-4 mins on my stove) and add more broth/milk to keep it creamy. Added mushrooms in addition to spinach and sun dried tomatoes. Delicious.

This is amazing! I doubled up on ingredients as I make 1 pound of pasta!

I didn’t follow exactly the Recipe , but most the same very good didn’t have any cream or parmesan cheese. I use Cesar salad dressing instead turn out very good.

Great, sun dried tomatoes is a must 🤤

This turned out amazing. I used shrimp instead of chicken and used just a tad bit more of the sun dried tomatoes to give it more of a zesty Cajun/Creole flavor. I sautéed the shrimp in butter and set aside and added again at the end so they wouldn’t be dried out. I also had to add more chicken broth and cook the pasta a little bit longer. It was delicious!

If you love pesto then this is your dish. So creamy and amazing! Already can't wait to make it again.

Turned out great. Important to note the broth to pasta ration should increase broth as pasta quantities increase. A whole box of penne should be 1.75c of broth.

definitely going to be making this again! very good!

Creamy is the word! We loved it

The dish turned out better than expected. I used veggie rotini.

Turned out great with some tinkering. Watch out for overcooking chicken if penne takes longer. Sun-dried tomatoes and spinach are not optional in my opinion so be sure to use them.
