Want to change things up? Consider swapping the penne for another short pasta like rotini or rigatoni. Cooked turkey would also work well in place of chicken, offering a slightly different flavor profile. For an extra touch of freshness and color, don't skimp on the chopped parsley if desired, or even a sprinkle of fresh chives.

This comforting casserole is ideal for a satisfying weeknight family dinner, a casual gathering, or anytime you need a substantial meal that effortlessly feeds six. Serve it alongside a simple green salad to balance the richness and complete your plate.
