     This recipe does not call for precoking the pasta. Is that correct? If so, this sounds soooooooo easy. - 1/15/10

    No pre-cooking the pasta in this recipe. That IS what makes it so easy. Through it together and bake while you are busy with something else OR just relaxing after work.

     My husband raised his eyebrows at putting the water and penne AND everything else all in one pan. After the mouthwatering first bite of this, I dont think I'll be questioned in the kitchen for a while ;) Thanks for sharing!! - 1/15/10

     Made this last night and sauteed the chicken with yellow onion and garlic. It turned out really good, next time I will use another can of sauce and skip (or use much less) water. Great easy recipe. - 12/12/10

     We tried this meal this evening.. Next time I think I'll make the same basic thing, but use 2 cans of sauce rather than one can of sauce and one can of water. Thanks for giving me something new to try! - 3/19/10
