Step 1

Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain the pasta, then rinse the noodles under cool water and drain again. Place the pasta in a large bowl. Editor’s Tip: If you don’t have the other ingredients already prepped and ready to go, the pasta may stick together as it sits. Prevent this by drizzling in a tiny bit of olive oil and giving it a toss.

Step 2

Add in the chopped romaine, chicken, tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, Caesar dressing, slivered almonds and, if you'd like, the croutons. Toss everything together and serve immediately.
