This was a good, comforting dish. I used a homemade cream of chicken substitute, and bowtie pasta, since it's all I had. I don't know if it was because of the homemade substitute, but it lacked a bit of spice. I will add mushrooms and some more black pepper and possibly some garlic or more onion. I liked the sauce and the pasta, so I will probably make it without the chicken next time, and as a side dish as just the pasta. Very good! Thanks for a great recipe! -
I took this when I went to visit my mother who was having some back & hip problems. She really enjoyed this. A little on the saucy side but that is why we had French bread with it!! -
This was a really good recipe my family loved it and it was so easy to make.
