Tips

If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen it.

Leftover rotisserie chicken works great in this recipe.

Stir frequently while cooking the pasta mix so the sauce stays smooth.

Green salad with Italian dressing

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
