Maggie's Super Quick Italian Chicken Pasta

"I threw this together instead of just diced tomatoes over pasta, and it was yummy enough that I'll make it again. It's not fancy, but it makes a great lunch that's even on the healthier side. Amounts are approximate, so go with whatever quantities are available, and it will still be delish, I promise."

  1. 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!
     
  2. We found this pretty bland. Added a can of spagetti sauce to kick up the flavour. Was much better.
     
  3. I had some leftover chicken to use up so made this for lunch. I used Dreamfiled pasta and followed the rest of the recipe as written. I did add the optional cheese except I used an Italian blend as that is what I had on hand. This was a good, quick lunch.
