One-Skillet Pasta Tips

What can I use instead of ground turkey?

Ground chicken would be a great substitute in this recipe and turn out nearly the same. You can also use ground beef, but make sure you drain the excess fat after browning.

Can I freeze this dish?

You can! Transfer individual portions of cooled pasta to freezer containers and freeze for up to three months. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally and adding a little broth if necessary.
