This pasta dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken or shrimp. I like to add a cup of cooked chicken or shrimp to the sauce. It makes the dish even more hearty and flavorful.

I love this pasta dish because it's so easy to make. I can have it on the table in under 30 minutes. It's also a great dish to make ahead of time. I often make it on the weekend and then reheat it for lunch or dinner during the week.
