This was good and easy to make. I followed the recipe exactly as written other then I didn't use the almonds as my children aren't fans. We all enjoyed this.

This was easy to throw together. I had to ammend the recipe based on what I had on hand. I subbed milk for half and half and canned chicken for cubed. I also added 1/2 cup bread crumbs because I was concerned about the amount of liquid from the chicken. It was a good dinner. Next time I make this it will be as written except I think I will use spiral pasta as I think more of the sauce will get stuck in the spirals.
