Add the garlic and cook for just a few seconds then add the sliced chicken. Add the cooked pasta and broccoli. Remove from heat and garnish with more parmesan.

Hi when it says 4 cups cooked pasta could you let me know how many cups of dry pasta is needed to make this please? Made this recipe tonight for girl’s night and everyone loved it! If I freeze this, how can I reheat it when I’m ready? How should this dish be re-heated out of the freezer?
Do you put it in the oven or do you reheat on the stove? Is it 4 cups of cooked pasta ir 4 cups of non cooked pasta? This site is great, I did two nice dishes already on two different Sundays. Made this a few times now. It’s so tasty and easy to make. Used single cream and it still turned out perfect. Had to grab for another serving!
I did use a fire roasted tomato pesto in my recipe. Didn’t have half and half so I used half can of condensed cream of cauliflower soup and cup of whole milk. You can try half and half or coconut cream. This is soo good and looks so appetising! Thxs so much for sharing all the recipes u have made! Delicious, even my toddler enjoyed it! 2 tablespoons butter in place of half and half.
