Ingredients

2 cups uncooked penne pasta

4oz ( half an 8 oz brick) cream cheese

7 oz roasted red peppers, drained

1/4 cup of milk

1/2 cup of fresh basil leaves

2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

1 lb chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces ( I omitted the chicken and used peas and broccoli. I added it to the last minutes of the boiling pasta)

Directions

Cook pasta as directed on package.

Meanwhile, place peppers, cream cheese, milk, basil and parmesan cheese in a blender and blend until nice and smooth.

Cook chicken in a large skillet until cooked through.

Stir in pepper mixture and simmer for 5-10 mintues, stirring frequently.

Drain pasta and add chicken mixture. Stir gently until pasta is well coated.

** When I just use the broccoli and peas instead of the chicken, I add it to the drained pasta, stir until well coated and serve. It is just as nice.

I BOILED THE CHICKEN, THEN DRAINED & CUT IN CHUCKS. PLACED FLEISHMAN'S MARGARINE, CHICKEN, AND LARGE ONION IN SKILLET THEN BROWNED. ADDED MINCED GARLIC AND FRESHLY GROUND PEPPER. USED BOWTIE PASTA. THE SAUCE: HAD TO USED @ 2 1/2 TBS DRIED BASIL...THAT'S WHAT I HAD.

I sauteed 1/2 a shallot with some pancetta and minced garlic, then added the chicken to brown and cook. I also used dried basil since it was all I had.
