PREPARATIONS:

  1. Prepare penne according to pasta directions so that it is al dente (2 oz/ 1/4 bag for each penne boat).
  2. Preheat oven to 400ºF.
  3. 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.
  4. Place penne in foil boats. Add remaining ingredients of each flavor to each of the foil boats. Stir.
  5. Place in oven to bake for 12 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool (~10 minutes).
  6. Serve or store, covered, in refrigerator for 3-5 days.
