One-Pot Wonders

So far, from the above page, we have made the Skillet Ziti with Broccoli, Chicken, & Sun-Dried Tomatoes. We've made these variations (partly because of what we happened to have on hand):

• Used already-cooked chicken breast, and simply added it at end.
• Used one chopped onion instead of scallions.
• Used 1/2 tsp. pepper flakes instead of 1/4 tsp. (next time I'll use even more).
• Used 1% milk instead of skim milk.
• Used romano cheese instead of parmesan.
• Used romanesco broccoli.
• Used bow-tie pasta instead of ziti.
• Our dried tomato supply consists of bags of supersweet 100s from last year's garden and haven't been soaking in olive oil. We used 1-1/4 cup, instead of just 1/2 cup. We threw them in dry. Cooking just a couple of minutes reconstitutes them. Good to have the extra flavor of these delicious tomatoes.
