As per the rules I am linking up with my sister-in-law's blog for Share A Meal Monday.Once again I found this recipe on one of my favorite recipe sites sparkrecipes.com . I did a few things differently to make it my own. I didn't have the suggested seasoned tomatoes, so I sauteed the chicken with some fresh garlic(3 cloves) and about 1/2 tbsp(maybe even more...I didn't actually measure) each of dried basil and oregano and used a 16oz can of diced tomatoes. I left out the mushrooms, nobody in our house is very fond of mushrooms, except my husband, and he wasn't at home for dinner. We topped it off with some Parmesan cheese, because really, isn't that what you are supposed to do with pasta? I would suggest to add some salsa for anyone who likes a little more kick in their tomato sauce, but it was yummy just the way it was. My kids all loved it and asked if we could have it again the next day.

Yum, I would add the mushrooms and take away the chicken...but agree...kick is good, as is cheese!
