PREPARATIONS:
- Prepare penne according to pasta directions so that it is al dente (2 oz/ 1/4 bag for each penne boat).
- Preheat oven to 400ºF.
- Create penne boats: take 2 sheets of aluminum foil (~12×12-inch) and place 1 of top of the other. Fold one side of the foil about ⅓ of the way across sheet, take the opposite side and fold 1/3 of the way across. Pinch the corner to form a point and then flatten it to the short side of the foil, so that the corner is raised. Repeat for all four sides and continue to make 4 boats, or as many single-serve boats you are preparing. Place foil boats on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Place penne in foil boats. Add remaining ingredients of each flavor to each of the foil boats. Stir.
- Place in oven to bake for 12 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool (~10 minutes).
- Serve or store, covered, in refrigerator for 3-5 days.
