Chicken with Bow Tie Pasta

Chicken with Bow Tie Pasta and seasonal vegetables.

Chicken with Bow Tie Pasta

I made this the other night and realized how few easy pasta recipes I have on this blog, I will be changing that! Making pasta is a good week night dinner especially with all of the prepared vegetables you can buy now. Once you have a good easy pasta dish in your repertoire you will be making this often. Substitute the vegetables, add more or change the pasta, the choice is yours.

If you add more vegetables you may find you need a little more sauce, that’s easy because the pasta is cooked in chicken broth and you can add a little more of that and a little additional butter. Add the butter off of the heat just before you add the parmesan cheese. I make a well in the center of the pan by pushing the pasta and vegetables to the sides of the pan. Add a little more of the pasta water and then add the butter. The butter should be cold and what you want to do is to just swirl it in the chicken broth so that it melts into the broth. Do not put it back on the heat after you add the butter or the sauce will break. Then either toss or lightly stir the sauce and cheese over the pasta.
