This would be almost perfect, but being a diabetic, I cannot eat regular pasta. Dreamfields Pasta is the answer for me, so if you are on a restricted carb diet for any reason, this pasta is wonderful.

This is a great recipe that includes fresh ingredients with canned to make it semi-homeade. I changed the reduced sodium tomatoes for regular tomatoes but everything else I kept the same and it was very tasty.

Very tasty dish, I made it as a side dish left out the chicken. I used fresh cherry tomatoes and sun dried tomato instead of can tomatoes and added artichokes and fresh parsley. Very simple dish to rearrange.
