Creamy chicken pasta

 This recipe would be great with the Fettuccine but yesterday I realized I barely ever get Fettuccine. I had different varieties of Veggie Pasta (...the reason all moms get it...sneak some veggies into your family's meal). Anyway, the dinner was great.

Creamy Chicken Pasta

Creamy Chicken Pasta

Ingredients:

1. 10 Oz Fettuccine or spaghetti cooked to package directions
2. 7 oz Canned chicken breast or substitute left over cooked chicken and 1/2 cup chicken stock
3. 1/2 cup heavy cream
4. 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
5. 2 big or 4 small cloves of garlic minced
6. 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning.
7. Salt and pepper to taste
8. 1/2 teaspoon pepper flakes
9. More cheese for sprinkling.
10. 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
11. 1 zucchini or yellow squash cubed
12. 1 cup fresh baby spinach and 1/2 cup peas (optional)

While the paste is boiling in a well seasoned water,  In a pan heat the oil and fry the vegetables for 2-3 minutes. Add garlic and fry for 1 more minute. Add the chicken and stir to combine. Add chicken stock and cream and cheese and stir to combine. Add the boiled paste and seasoning and pepper and mix well. Give it a taste test and add salt sparingly. If the dish seems watery cook for 1 minute more. The paste will absorb the liquid and turn more yummy.

Serve topped with pepper flakes and more cheese.
