Italian Gigi Sauce With Chicken and Pasta image

This is a wonderful, light sauce served over your choice of pasta. Not your traditional tomato sauce but a totally different flavor that your family will love. My husband (and myself quite frankly) were concerned about the tomato soup but you don't even know that is what was used. It doubles very well.

I wasn't a fan of the Gigi sauce. It was a little too sweet for my liking.

The sauce was a little too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by adding some cream.
