Swanson Oodles of Pasta & Chicken (4 or 8 servings)
I don't cook with salt and I used my homemade chicken stock which also has no salt so it was a little bland. Some Franks hot sauce fixed that; overall it was good and will make it again.

Step-by-step
- MIX broth, garlic and carrot in saucepan. Heat to a boil.
- ADD pastas. Cook over medium heat 10 min.
- ADD broccoli and chicken. Cook 5 min. or until broccoli is tender-crisp.
- Sprinkle with parsley.
Operating within a thirty-minute total timeframe requires strict adherence to the sequence of ingredients. Root vegetables and dried shapes demand different cooking durations than tender brassicas, meaning simultaneous introduction results in either raw noodles or mushy florets. Shredding the carrot finely ensures it softens sufficiently during the initial ten-minute boil alongside the corkscrew and mafalda pastas. Medium heat maintains a gentle simmer rather than a violent rolling boil, which prevents the starches from breaking down prematurely and clouding the broth. Staggering the addition of the cubed cooked chicken and broccoli florets by ten minutes protects the poultry from overcooking and keeps the broccoli at a bright green, tender-crisp stage after five additional minutes on the heat. Undercooking the pasta by one minute prevents structural collapse when residual heat transfers during serving. Seasoning adjustments must account for commercial broths containing significant baseline sodium before adding table salt or hot sauce. Storing leftovers safely requires rapid cooling within two hours before refrigeration in an airtight container for up to three days.
