Pesto Chicken Penne

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal live. John 3:16 (NIV)

A pesto sauce mix makes putting this recipe together a snap. Although it's an easy recipe it seems very elegant and would be great served for company.

Ingredients:

8 ounces penne pasta or any medium pasta
1 envelope pesto sauce mix
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup olive oil or vegetable oil
2 cups cubed cooked chicken or turkey

While the pasta is cooking, whisk together the pesto mix, milk and oil in a large saucepan. Cook and stir until mixture boils. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered for 5 minutes.

Add the chicken and heat through.

Drain pasta. Add to sauce mixture and toss to coat. Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese.

To round out this meal, serve with a fresh, crisp green salad and warmed French bread. That's all it takes to put together this quick dinner recipe and make it a complete meal worth of company.
