    Just okay. I prefer a creamier sauce with my pasta. Maybe mix some cream in next time?

      Really? I found it a bit bland. Maybe I did something wrong?

    I tried this but the chicken was kinda dry. Maybe I cooked it too long? Not sure.

    I don’t eat chicken. Can I use tofu instead? Will it taste just as good?

      IDK if tofu is the same as chicken. Maybe it won’t taste right? But you can try, I guess.

      Tofu would be a great substitute! Just make sure to press it to get the water out, and it should taste good with the other ingredients. I’m all for plant-based meals!

    Not a fan. The spinach didn’t do it for me. I’d rather have broccoli with it!
