Yes, any pasta shape works well in this recipe, although cooking times may vary based on the type you choose.
What can I subs8tute for cream of chicken or mushroom soup?
You can use homemade white sauce or another cream soup flavor you prefer, like cream of celery.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the casserole ahead of time and refrigerate it before baking. Add a few extra minutes to the baking time if it's cold from the fridge.
How can I add more flavor?
Consider adding more herbs, spices, or ingredients like sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or a dash of white wine to enhance the flavor.
