Notes
For pasta you can use rotini, penne or medium shells (cook time is all similar). We don't recommend gluten free pasta for this recipe. This recipe is a one pan pasta recipe and gluten free pasta can get very mushy. Use at your own risk!
You can use any type of broth for this recipe or even water, chicken broth and beef brother are our favorites.
