Bow ties with chicken and mushroom sauce

Preparation time: 25 minutes

2 cups (about 5 ounces) uncooked bow tie pasta
1 can (10 3/4 ounces) reduced-fat, reduced-sodium cream of mushroom soup (such as Campbell’s Healthy Request)
3/4 cup skim milk
1 can (4 ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 can (5 ounces) chunk white chicken, drained and flaked
Dash cayenne pepper

Bring a saucepan of water to a boil, add pasta, and cook al dente, about 9–11 minutes. Meanwhile, in a separate pan, stir together soup, milk, mushrooms, black pepper, garlic powder, chicken, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat and heat through. Pour sauce over drained pasta and toss to coat.
