This is one of my personal favorites, I don't really measure anything, I basically just eyeball it. It takes about 30 minutes or so to prepare.
What you will need:
2-3 Boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 Green pepper
1 Orange or Red pepper
1-2 cloves garlic
1/2 white or yellow onion
Cherry tomatoes
Basil
Olive Oil
Linguine
Parmesan Cheese
Salt & Pepper
In large skillet, heat 2-3 TBSP olive oil.

Tonight I tried experiment 349857 to get my male cohabitant to eat vegetables. As he gets older, the effects of the severe vitamin deficiencies he subjects himself to with a bread and milk heavy diet are beginning to show - poor skin, spare tire, insomnia, moodiness, flatulence, and bleeding gums. I won a small victory with the introduction of a multivitamin, and he will agree to infrequent glasses of infused orange drink mix (he wont eat any other fruit besides bananas), but buttering up the carrots in the pot roast wasn’t going to be enough for me.

Try this Pesto Pasta dish! It looks so delish!
Ripe cherry tomatoes and fresh basil add zing to a classic sauce and turn this simple dish into a savory meal.

My family has purchased from this local pasta manufacturer for many years. We LOVE them!!!!! I asked them in the fall of 2006 if they could make gluten-free pasta, and the sales clerks gave me strange looks...
