Penne Pasta

This Chicken Pad Thai recipe uses ZENB Penne Pasta as the base for this delicious dish. You’ll enjoy the classic flavour combination while getting in a good source of protein. If you’d prefer to have a meatless dish, you can swap the chicken for firm tofu and enjoy the flavours just the same.
