Cheesy Zucchini Summer Pasta

This is the perfect summer pasta. A delicious mix of healthy vegetable meets comfort food. It is light and tasty while still being very filling. David and I both really enjoyed it. 



Cheesy Zucchini Summer Pasta

Ingredients:
1 Chicken Breast
1/2 bag of bowtie noodles
1 medium zucchini
1 can petite diced tomatoes
1 cup Mozzarella Cheese
1/2 jar alfredo sauce
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Directions:
Cook the pasta until "al dente". While pasta is cooking defrost, cube, and saute chicken in a little bit of oil. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. (Chicken can also be boiled and shredded if desired.) Slice zucchini and cut each slice into four pieces. Add zucchini to a small bit of oil in frying pan, once zucchini is soft add tomatoes and saute. Add chicken, pasta, alfredo, and mozzarella cheese and warm through. Top with parmesan cheese and serve with a side of garlic bread.

Note: I often omit the chicken and just use the zucchini and tomato as a yummy summer (meatless) dish.
