Variations
- Vegetarian Option: Substitute chicken with white beans and use vegetable broth.
- Spicy Kick: Add more red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce.
- Add Veggies: Stir in fresh spinach, kale, or diced zucchini for added nutrition.
Storage and Reheating
- Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: If freezing, omit the pasta and add it fresh when reheating. Freeze for up to 2 months.
