My hubby went on a business trip a few years back, and they had a pasta bar at the office he went to where they could pick their own sauces and ingredients to put with their pasta. He loved it! When he got home, he told me about this yummy pasta that he had. This is my attempt at re-creating it!
Mushrooms, sliced
Onion- sliced into thin strips
2 cloves garlic, minced
Chicken, cubed (For the two of us, I usually just do 1 chicken breast or 3 tenders)
2 TBSP oil
1 package of Tortelloni pasta (We like the 3 cheese flavor)
1 package of pesto sauce prepared per instructions
1/2 cup butter
1 cup cream (or fat free half and half works too)
Parmesan cheese to taste
Cook the chicken in a pan with oil. When it starts to brown, add in the vegetables. Saute until done. In the meantime, boil some water. Cook the pasta according to the directions. Drain. In the same pan, melt 1/2 cup of butter. Pour in cream and stir. Add in desired amount of Parmesan cheese to make it taste like alfredo sauce. Pour pasta into the alfredo sauce. Mix in desired amount of pesto. Add chicken/vegetables and stir together. I like to top it with shredded Parmesan. Enjoy!!

Chicken Parmesan
Tonight for dinner, I decided to try to recreate one of our favorite meals! When my hubby and I were on our honeymoon, we drove up to Portland, Maine one night. We ate dinner at this little restaurant that is on a boat in the harbor. We both ordered the Chicken Parmesan. Since then, we have loved eating it because it reminds us of that really fun night! Here's how I made it:
Chicken Tenders or Breasts
Parmesan Cheese (As much or as little as you would like)
1 egg, beaten
Chicken Shake 'N Bake or Italian Bread Crumbs
Mozzarella Cheese
1 jar Spaghetti Sauce
Spaghetti noodles
Combine Parmesan cheese with the chicken covering. Dip the chicken in the egg to cover it, and then place it in the crumb/cheese mixture. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes or until chicken is done. When it is done, put some Mozzarella cheese on each chicken piece and cook until the cheese is melted. In the meantime, cook the pasta according to package directions. Heat up spaghetti sauce. Serve it all up and enjoy!!!
