I Hope these help!!





PESTO PASTA SALAD WITH TURKEY %26amp;


VEGGIES





4 oz. uncooked rigatoni pasta


2 c. 1/4 inch zucchini slices


1/3 c. chopped red onion


1 med. carrot, thinly sliced


2 tbsp. olive oil


3 c. chopped cooked turkey


1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar (or to taste if serving it cold)


Salt %26amp; pepper to taste


1/2 red bell pepper, minced


Pesto





Cook pasta as directed and prepare pesto. Saute onion, zucchini, red pepper, carrot in olive oil (until veggies are tender, yet crisp). Stir in turkey (can use chicken) until it is fully warmed. Stir pasta, pesto and veggies together until all is coated with pesto and then heat everything together. Serve dish HOT or COLD. Preparation time: 45 minutes. Serves: 6 (1 cup each).


If you serve this as a cold salad it will take longer than 45 minutes (Keep in refrigerator until ready to serve). Also, it may need a bit more balsamic vinegar for flavor.





SPIRAL CHICKEN PASTA





2 chicken breasts (cooked and cut into cubes)


1/2 teaspoon Portuguese spice


1/2 teaspoon Cajun spice


2 tablespoons soy sauce


1 medium size onion


1 clove garlic (fresh)


2 cups spiral pasta (cooked as directed)


half (each) green, red and yellow pepper


1/2 cup of mixed vegetables


2 tablespoons olive oil





Warm oil and add onions and fry until soft. Add spices and chicken. Saut茅 for 7 minutes or until chicken is done. Add all vegetables and continue to cook for 10 more minutes.


Cook pasta according to package directions. Combine the chicken with the pasta and bake for 7-10 minutes in oven temp 325掳F.

Chicken Fettiucini, Alfredo. Try a chicken melt.
chicken fettucine alfredo is great! look up the recipe on food network .com but make sure you spell fettucine correctly cause i know i didnt . good luck
This can be served with or with out mean and it's a snap to make. It can also be served hot or cold. I prefer mine to be cold.





1 box - I use the spiral noodles (cook to desired tenderness)


Package of grated cheese (any kind will do, use her favorite)


Black Olives (if she likes them)





Mix in bowl with Italian dressing (I use Zesty Italian) and use the desired amount of Italian dressing. Keep refrigerated.





What is nice about this recipe is that it's versatile. You can add meat if you would like and of course you can add more veggies. I'm not a big meat eater so, I throw all kind of veggies into to the mix!
