Chicken Parm is a staple of Italian-American cuisine, and while it’s usually served on the side of or over spaghetti, we thought that cavatappi would not only add texture but would help make pasta a central player here. We used store-bought breaded chicken breasts and tomato sauce, so you don’t have to do any heavy lifting.
