Pasta doesn’t have to be boring - especially with a fresh, flavorful, and vibrantly-garnished dish such as this!
Ingredients:
1 lb. gluten-free spiral pasta
1 large, cooked and chopped, skinless chicken breast (or 1 can of whole breast canned chicken, drained)
1 C. carrots
1 C. chopped tomatoes
1/4 C. extra virgin olive oil
1/4 C. grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 C. dried cranberries or dried currents
1/3 C. grated Romano cheese
1/4 C. sliced, seedless black or green olives
1 Tbsp chives
Directions:
Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain well. Place in large bowl. Add cooked chicken (whole breast canned chicken can be a real time-saver!) Then add cooked carrots, raw if preferred. Add chopped tomatoes. Drizzle with 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, and sprinkle in grated Parmesan cheese and dried cranberries or dried currents. Gently fold all ingredients together. Top with grated Romano cheese, olives, and chives. Serve with a side of fresh fruit of your family’s choosing.
