FARFALLE WITH CHICKEN, MUSHROOMS, SPINACH AND RICOTTA CHEESE



Farfalle With Chicken, Mushrooms, Spinach and Ricotta Cheese image

This is a nice light pasta - the sauce isn't heavy (or, really, very saucy at all) and the ricotta makes it just a touch creamy. It's also quite healthy. This is one of those recipes that can be made quickly with what you have in the kitchen! Instead of overdoing the pasta - we used whole wheat pasta & bulked it up with veggies and lean chicken breast. The finished dish is very eye appealing and tastes marvelous! ellysaysopa.com. :)

3 teaspoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
4 large garlic cloves, minced
2 cups canned unsalted chicken broth
1 15 1/2-ounce can low-sodium garbanzo beans (chick peas), rinsed, drained

12 ounces farfalle (bow tie) pasta, freshly cooked
2 ounces grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:
