This was really good. I didn't have all of the same ingredients so I made some changes but it was still good. I didn't have cavatappi pasta so I used ziti. I also used ground chicken instead of chicken tenderloin. My husband doesn't like sun-dried tomatoes so I had to leave them out. I also used onion and chives cream cheese instead of garlic and herb. It was really easy to make.
