Need a new recipe?

Since I was typing this up for someone else I thought I'd post this delicious recipe. It is from my friend, Janelle (otherwise know as Alec's mom) :)

Pasta Primavera

1/2 lb uncooked pasta
2 cups (1-inch) diagonally cut thin asparagus (about 3/4 lb)
1/2 cup shelled green peas (about 3/4 lb unshelled green peas)
1 tsp olive oil
cooking spray
2 chicken breasts
1 small yellow bell pepper, cut into julienne strips
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minces
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
2/3 cup fat-free, les-sodium chicken broth
1/3 cup whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
1/4 cup (1 ounce) grated fresh Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil

1. Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Add asparagus and peas during the last minute of cooking. Drain; place in a large bowl.
2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Cook chicken, add bell pepper, onion, and garlic; sauté 5 minutes. Add tomatoes; sauté 1 minute. Stir in broth, whipping cream, salt and red pepper; cook 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
3. Add tomato mixture to pasta mixture; toss to coat. Sprinkle with cheese and basil. Serve immediately.
