*Creamy Penne Pasta
1 box penne rigate pasta
1 can clear chicken broth
boneless chicken breasts (3 or 4) cut into 1 inch pieces
1 package frozen spinach
about 10 cherry or grape tomatoes
1 8 or 9 ounce package cream cheese
1 garlic clove minced
Boil 1 box of penne rigate pasta until al dente!. Drain!.
Pour half the can of chicken broth into a large skillet!. Put chicken pieces in and cook until no longer pink on inside!. Add garlic!. Add cream cheese cut into pieces!. When cream cheese melts, add the rest of the chicken broth, the spinach and tomatoes!. Stir as cooking!. When the sauce thickens slightly and the tomatoes are slightly tender, it is done!. (I like the sauce slightly thicker!. So I don't always add the full can of chicken broth!.)
Add creamy tomato spinach sauce to pasta!. Mix well!. It usually takes me 2 casserole dishes to hold it and we can eat off of it for 2 days!. I really like it served with garlic bread and stuffed mushrooms!.
The whole thing usually takes about 20 minutes!.

Grab some bell peppers, an onion, mushrooms, broccoli, tomato, garlic, and/or any other mixture of veggies you think will go together well!. Chop up some combination of them that you think is a good portion for you!. Start some water boiling for whatever long pasta you want!. I think it works best with linguini, but others will work!. In a pan, start heating up some extra virgin olive oil on medium heat!. Add the peppers, onions, and garlic first, because they take longer to cook AND flavor the oil!. Throw in some Mrs Dash seasoning and maybe a little celery salt to taste!. Add in the rest of the veggies after a couple of minutes, and sautee up for another 5-10 minutes!. Pour it over the pasta, oil included, and enjoy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I always have a bag of pasta pre-made for quick fixes!.
I take a cup of that - put in some pasta sauce - some cut up fresh veggies (frozen ones work as well) that I like!. Mix it all together!. Soy cheese on top - bake in the oven/microwave!.
If you have some soy sausage - goes well with it!.
Tossed salad!. Fruit for dessert!. Dinner!.
You could also do 'fried pasta'!. Learned it when I was over in Italy!. Cooked pasta is tossed in a frying pan with olive oi, garlic, and parsley with some Italian seasonings!. Looks on the 'plain' side - but tastes really good!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
