I usually grill a few strips of marinated chicken breast on my George Foreman grill along with slices of squash and zucchinni (sp?)

Boil angel hair pasta according to package and drain. Heat up a jar of alfredo sauce and mix pasta into it. .

There ya go, you have a meal. Alfredo pasta with grilled chicken and veggies on the side. It is quick and easy. I have not made it in a while so I better get to the store. I love that stuff.

Hey Bec! Were you looking for more of a side pasta dish? Here's one.

I've done this one before, though sometimes I modify with greek dressing instead (adding some feta and bl. olives and deleting the basil and parmesan cheese) and sometimes adding chopped cucumber with just a basic italian dressing. It's from http://www.kraftfoods.com/

Fresh-from-the-Garden Tomato Pasta

Prep Time: 10 min
Total Time: 20 min
Makes: 4 servings

3 cups rotini pasta, uncooked
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup KRAFT Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing
4 cups coarsely chopped tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1/2 cup KRAFT 100% Grated Parmesan Cheese

COOK pasta as directed on package; drain. Place in large bowl; cover to keep warm.
COMBINE onions, garlic and dressing in large nonstick skillet; cook 2 min. or until onions are tender. Stir in tomatoes; cook 2 min.
ADD to pasta along with the remaining ingredients; mix lightly.

KRAFT KITCHENS TIPS

Substitute
Prepare as directed, using penne pasta.

Creative Leftovers
Cover and refrigerate any leftovers. Serve for lunch the next day along with cold sliced cooked chicken.

Nutrition Bonus:
This flavorful, meatless main dish is not only low in fat but also provides 1 cup of the recommended 2-1/2 cups of vegetables per day.

Another good one if you like tuna salad is to boil cheese tortellini until done, then put in a bowl with some canned tuna (however much you like). Then I like to add some chopped onions, celery, roasted red peppers, cooked frozen peas, and mayo to taste (I usually use miracle whip lite though). Then I season with a little salt, pepper and dill to taste. Yum!!
It's a neat change of pace from the usual tuna pasta salad.

Ooo, I have some good ones. They're not mine. I got them right from Giada DeLaurentis' show Everyday Italian. I made all three of them for my C'mas Dinner party for 30 people!

They're super simple, yet very tasty and unusual. Even making the recipe X4, they were all excellent. Didn't loose one bit of flavor by making the recipe in large quantity.
