This cozy baked pasta is a dish for everyone who loves chicken. The golden Parmesan-bread crumb topping and melty goat cheese make it taste decadent and gourmet. The mushrooms and tomatoes give it garden fresh flavor which absorbs into the pasta while the dish bakes. We’ve used black beans for a sprinkle of extra color, but you can easily substitute cannellini beans for more Italian flare. You can also use any short pasta like ziti or rotini in the place of the penne if you’d like. Serve with a mixed greens salad or steamed green beans to fill-up on more veggies.
