Fresh Herb Penne With Chicken and Tomatoes image

Found this recipe on the back of a Heartland penne pasta box. Yet to try...looks good. Prep and cooking time is a total of 30 minutes (not counting preparing the pasta) so this goes together quickly and would be great for a weeknight meal.

Overall, this was a good recipe. With a few tweaks, I think it could be even better.

This dish was a little too bland for my taste. I'll try adding some more spices next time.

The chicken was a little dry. I think I'll try cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.

The sauce is a little too tangy for my taste. I'll try adding a little bit of sugar or honey next time.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have some cooked chicken in the fridge and this is a great way to use it up.

The fresh herbs really make this dish special. I used basil, oregano, and thyme from my garden.

I added some chopped spinach to the sauce and it gave it a nice pop of color and flavor.

I substituted ground turkey for the chicken and it was still delicious. This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
