PASTA, BROCCOLI AND CHICKEN
A mixture of pasta, broccoli, pesto, tomatoes and cheese that is practically a meal in itself, especially with the cooked chicken. Great served with crusty bread or a tossed salad. Try using bow tie pasta for an added variation!

jms@hotmail.comThis pasta dish was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry, and the sauce was a little bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
