MAKE THIS 20-MINUTE TOMATO, BASIL, AND CHICKEN PASTA TONIGHT
Think of this as a lighter, fresher take on chicken Parmesan: We ditch the breading on the poultry and let juicy cherry tomatoes stand in for jarred pasta sauce. A little grated carrot adds just enough sweetness to round out the acidity in the tomatoes. Mini balls of fresh mozzarella, also called ciliegine, melt just enough in the finished pasta so that the dish feels extra cheesy. This would also be delicious with cooked, crumbled Italian turkey sausage or with simply sauteed shrimp.

Steps:
- Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat; drain.

- Add remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, tomatoes, wine, 1/4 cup basil, and carrot to drippings in pan; bring to a boil. Cook 3 minutes or until tomatoes begin to break down, stirring frequently. Reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Remove pan from heat; stir in mozzarella and 1/4 cup Parmesan.
- Divide pasta among 4 bowls. Top evenly with chicken, sauce, and remaining 1/4 cup basil and 1/4 cup Parmesan.

BASIL CHICKEN AND PASTA
This is a great quick meal; the chicken and sauce can be prepared in the time it takes to cook the pasta. You can add more cream or less pasta if you like it creamier. Try ziti or farfalle pasta to add even more variety to this recipe. The leftovers don't heat very well, so eat it all up the first time!

Steps:
- Heat skillet on medium. Spray with nonstick spray.
- Cook pasta according to directions. (I put the water on to boil while I'm cooking the garlic/onions/chicken, so the pasta is finished about the same time as the rest.).
- Toss in onion and garlic. Stir 1 minute.
- Add chicken. Stir and cook 3-5 minutes, until chicken is mostly cooked through. At this point, I sprinkled with some ground pepper.
- Add can of diced tomatoes and half of basil.
- Simmer 3-5 minutes, until basil is wilted.
- Add sun-dried tomatoes and rest of basil.
- Simmer another 2 minutes or so, to let the sun-dried tomatoes soften.
- Spoon on top of pasta. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese & enjoy!

BASIL CHICKEN PASTA
I tried to make "Basil Cream Chicken" from cook MizzNezz. However, I was lacking many of the ingredients. This is what it evolved into. My husband LOVED this and I thought it was even better as leftovers.
