  1. Marvelous! Seasoned up some boneless skinless chicken breasts and seared them on both sides and removed. Then continued on with the recipe and added them back to the sauce as it was simmering until done. Removed again. Added milk (no cream), thickened the sauce with cornstarch and then added bow tie pasta and shredded parmesan cheese. Plated each pasta mixture and topped it with a chicken breast and some more parmesan. Simply marvelous! Yum...
     
  2. This was really great! I made it for my husband on St. Valentine's Day and it will now become a staple meal in our home. It went well with a baked chicken breast, but I think would be a great stand-alone as well. It was also such an easy meal to make. Next time I will add a little more garlic just because we like it. *Even the leftovers were to die for.
     
  3. Fantastic! I'm fussy about my pasta. This was awesome. I'm making it again today after thinking about it all week! I used a fresh pasta/noodle that was given to me. Perfect as is.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm from Oklahoma (Sooner born/Sooner bred); I've lived in the Southeastern-most corner of Tennessee, the FM 1960 area of Houston, in San Diego for eight years, and I now live in Burbank. I have a DBF and a DBC (dear blind cat) named Floyd. I wish I had never found this site, because I can't develop a standard repertoire of meals since I'm always browsing for and finding new recipes. It's a good problem.
