- STORAGE:
- Pasta - Penne works best, but you can use rigatoni, ziti or fusilli instead.
- Broth - Chicken or vegetable broth works great.
- Cream cheese - Use full fat or light cream cheese.
- Blue cheese dressing - You can substitute for ranch dressing if you don't like blue cheese.
- This recipe tastes great as leftovers. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
