Recipe Tips
- To change things up, try one of the following recipe twists:
Experiment with Cheese Types
You can add parmesan cheese instead of (or in addition to!) cheddar cheese. Stir in 1/2 cup (125 mL) grated parmesan cheese.Add Some Extra Flavour
For some additional flavours, try adding any of the below ingredients:- Lemon
- Sun-dried tomatoes
- Fresh spinach
- Parmesan cheese
- Garlic
Choose a Different Recipe Base
In addition to other types of pasta like whole wheat, fettuccine, bow-tie and linguine, you can also choose to switch it out for long-grain white rice. Replace rotini with 1 cup (250 mL) uncooked long-grain white rice cooked according to package directions.Make the Pasta Extra Creamy
Use tri-colour rotini. Stir fry 1 cup (250 mL) sliced zucchini and 1/2 cup (125 mL) sliced celery with onion; omit other vegetables. Replace shredded cheese with 1/3 cup (75 mL) softened cream cheese,stirring in well.Include Other Spices
Don't be afraid to spice things up by using crushed red pepper, black pepper, and garlic.Love creamy pastas?

Review by Christa D.
My little ones love this recipe. I use egg noodles instead of the rotini and I leave out the onions. My toddler eats it all up everytime :)

Keeper!
Family loved this one. I added mushrooms for texture and flavour was great.

Nice chicken skillet meal
Was excellent. I actually added a can of mushroom soup and it was so creamy. I added grated parmesan cheese in addition to the cheddar cheese. Will make again.
