Description

A rich and decadent pasta dish! Using whole wheat past and light dairy makes you feel better about eating a heaping bowl of creamy pasta!

Ingredients

  • 10 ounces, weight Chicken Breasts, Skinless & Boneless
  • Garlic Salt, to taste
  • 13-¼ ounces, weight Whole Wheat Penne Pasta (1 Box)
  • 1 stick Light Butter
  • 1-½ cup Fat-free Half-and-Half
  • 4 ounces, weight Gorgonzola Cheese Crumbles
  • ¼ cups Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 8 ounces, weight Sliced Mushrooms
  • Cooking Spray
  • 2 whole Ripe Roma Tomatoes

Preparation

1. Season chicken with garlic salt. Grill or broil chicken breasts; slice into strips or chunks.
2. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain.
3. While pasta and chicken are cooking, melt butter in medium saucepan. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute.
4. Slowly add half-and-half. Heat to boil to reduce, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes.
5. Reduce heat to medium-low, add gorgonzola, Parmesan and nutmeg. Stir until melted.
6. Meanwhile, sautee mushrooms in cooking spray until liquid is released.
7. Chop tomatoes, salt lightly, and microwave for about 45 seconds (if desired) to bring out their flavor.

This is delicious! I made it for dinner and everyone loved it. I didn’t use the ‘low fat’ version, but used regular butter and regular 1/2 and 1/2. Sinful, I know. Also, we had fresh cherry tomatoes from the garden, so I sliced those up and used them instead of the romas. YUM YUM YUMMY! Thanks for sharing such a great recipe!
