I am SO excited to bring this recipe to life. It is quick, easy and FULL of flavor, and the best part, after making this once you can basically just eyeball it and throw the ingredients together to marinate. This pasta Mueller’s® Garlic & Chive Flavor Infused Penne Rigate has a flavor of its own, making it easy for you to mix and match any of the below ingredients to make a flavorful, creamy and satisfying dish!
