Notes

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of cream or water if the pasta seems dry. For a vegetarian option, omit the chicken or add your favorite vegetables. For added spice, include red pepper flakes.
