I have NOT abandoned the blog, I've just been making the same old, same old and been busy with my two mobile children. Time flies!
During the summer, I love to visit the farmers market and see what I can get a deal on, and what just looks super yummy. After today's visit to the Minneapolis Farmers' Market, we got a lot of yummy veggies, so I decided to make a primavera to use them!
1 box enriched pasta (I used MP Penne Plus from Target)
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite sized pieces
1 jar alfredo or garlic sauce (I used Ragu Roasted Garlic)
1 red pepper cut into bite sized pieces
green beans, cut into pieces
1 cup peas
handful matchstick carrots
drizzle of EVOO
shredded parmesan cheese
(remember, you can use whatever veggies you have, but if they're frozen, you'll need to cook them longer)
1. Cook pasta according to package directions.
2. Heat EVOO and saute chicken in it until cooked through.
3. When the chicken is fully cooked, add sauce and veggies. Simmer on med-low heat until the pasta is done.
4. After you drain the pasta, add it to the veggie/chicken/sauce mixture and toss to coat.
5. Serve with a little bit of shredded parmesan on top.
