Rush Hour Recipes

My review of the book will be on my main blog.

Ingredients:

16 oz. package of Penne Pasta, uncooked

1/4 c. olive oil

1 tsp. garlic, chopped

28 oz. can diced tomatoes, drained ( I used the ones with the jalapeño's in it!)

1/2 c. fresh basil, chopped or 1 tsp. dried basil

2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and cubed

8 oz package shredded mozzarella cheese

salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Cook pasta according to package directions; drain. Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; sauté for one minute. Stir in tomatoes and basil; continue cooking for 2 minutes. Add chicken to skillet. Simmer for about 5 minutes, until heated through. Transfer mixture in skillet to a large serving bowl; toss with pasta and cheese. Season with salt and pepper.

Makes 6 to 8 servings.

This was a hit with my family. EVERYONE loved it!

Incredible Dish! I often get home from work before my wife and try to get dinner done before she gets home so she can relax. Fantastic Recipe
