ZENB Pasta Variety

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