This recipe is so yummy,
I like to used leftover roasted chicken for a great smokey flavor
and Philadelphia cooking creme in place of the Neufchatel cheese.
This is a great recipe to put in any extra veggies you need to use up,
the flavor is so great your kids won't even notice!

cups multi-grain penne pasta, uncooked
