We used 1 3/4 C. Elbow noodles (it's what I had), no oil, added a 15 ounce can of tomato sauce, several dashes of red pepper flakes, halved the chicken (that's all I had), no salt (it was in the tomato sauce), no black pepper, added a generous tablespoon of Italian seasoning, and omitted the cheese. It was AWESOME. My husband thought it was great this way for summer, but thought that in the fall/winter it would be awesome just as is in a casserole with the cheese melted on top (like a baked ziti). Thanks for the inspiration!
