Pro Tips

1. Swap the cellentani with whole grain penne to get extra fiber and protein!

2. This has a lil spice to it, if you don’t like that, use less crushed red pepper!

3. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can cook the ingredients in a regular skillet and then layer the elements into a baking dish!
