FAQ

  • Can I use any kind of pasta?

    Yes, you can use any small pasta shape you like, such as ditalini, acini di pepe, or even small shells. Just adjust the cooking time according to the package directions.
  • I don't have cooked chicken, what can I do?

    You can use canned chicken, or quickly cook some chicken breast by poaching it in the broth before adding the vegetables and pasta. Just remove the chicken once cooked and shred it before adding it back in.
