Variations & Tips
- For a healthier twist, whole wheat pasta can be used in place of traditional penne, and the heavy cream can be substituted with a lower-fat milk mixed with a teaspoon of flour for thickness.
- Feel free to swap the chicken with turkey or even leave it out for a vegetarian option. If you’re skipping the meat, consider adding cannellini beans for protein.
- To add a little crunch, sprinkle breadcrumbs mixed with melted butter over the top before baking.
- Remember to cut your vegetables in uniform sizes so they cook evenly and present beautifully.
- If you find yourself in the midst of spring and have access to fresh garden peas, asparagus, or artichokes, they would make delightful additions to this casserole, embracing the season's fresh bounty.
