Tips for Making Teriyaki Chicken Pasta
Pasta: I used bow tie pasta, but you may use any short and sturdy pasta, such as rotini, penne, etc. Ginger: I almost always cook with ground ginger because it’s easier than grating fresh ginger. However, you can use 3 times the amount of fresh ginger instead of ground! Chicken: I used chicken breasts, but ground chicken or ground turkey can also be used.
