Recipe Notes
I use tri-color penne instead of bow tie pasta, I like the colors and the added vegetable flavors. I use fresh chicken that I cut up and cook in the skillet with 8 oz sliced mushrooms and seasoned with Italian seasoning; then I continue with the rest of the recipe. I use frozen spinach (10 oz) box, thawed and drained instead of fresh, I add it before the tomatoes and Alfredo sauce.
