Notes

For a twist, try adding vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers for added nutrition. Reserve pasta water may be needed to adjust the sauce's consistency for a creamier texture. Experiment with different sauces like Alfredo or Pesto to change the flavor profile. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage. If using rotisserie chicken, you can save even more time on prep!
