Poppyseed-less Chicken Casserole

- 2- To boiling water/broth, add the 1/2 pounds of pasta and cook according to the directions on the pasta packaging.

- *Note: I didnt add salt or pepper to my casserole.
- Instead, I allow each person to salt/pepper their dish to their particular taste.
- I find this makes my salt fiend mother and I (a pepper lover) very happy.
