Pasta Nom (With White Wine Garlic Sauce and Chicken)

Submitted by stonecoldcrazy

"I've been in the mood for a good pasta dish lately, and my hubby's aversion to cream sauces left me intent on creating a savory recipe he would enjoy, too. This came out great, the chicken was so tender and juicy and the sauce was good enough to lick the plate clean once you've finished eating!"

Although I had to leave out a couple of key ingredients due to allergies it was still quite good. Man, I wish that I could have the parmesan!

Wow, great recipe, my taste buds were popping. I didn't have the cilantro, but I added sliced mushrooms, green pepper, red pepper and asparagus, absolutely delicious. Loved it!!!!

I loved this recipe! It was nice to find a good pasta recipe that wasn't creamy and fattening :)
