Creamy Italian Pasta with Chicken
I made up this recipe one night when I was very tired and had no desire to wander around a grocery store trying to figure out what to make. This is even more delicious when topped with Parmesan or mozzarella cheese. Adding red pepper flakes gives it a little more kick also. 5 ServingsPrep/Total Time: 20 min.
