Chicken Penne Pasta

Chicken Penne Pasta

1 large skinless chicken breast, trimmed and sliced in very thin strips
1/2 green pepper, sliced in very thin strips
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp dried spinach flakes
1-2 dashes cayenne pepper
1 tbsp oil
1/2 jar marinara sauce
1/2 jar cream based sauce (we like Bertolli Four Cheese Rosa)
1/2 box penne pasta, cooked to package directions (we like Ronzoni Smart Taste)
1/4 cup Parmesan shreds

1. Put oil in saute pan on medium heat.
2. Put in chicken, pepper, garlic, spinach flakes and cayenne pepper. Saute for several minutes until chicken is no longer pink in the middle.
3. Reduce heat. Add marinara and cream sauce. Mix until warm.
4. Add cooked pasta. Stir and warm.
5. Serve in bowl and sprinkle with Parmesan shreds.

Notes: This will serve 2-3 people. If you like tomatoes, a finely chopped one would probably go well with this dish, added in during the sauteing.

Recipe Origination: Made it up tonight using random ingredients we had in the cabinets and in our garden. It turned out good :)
