Day 403 | Salsarita Pasta

/

Do you remember when

Trader Joe's

made real meals for their samples instead of just warming up one of their frozen products? I do. I miss those days.

This is one of the recipes I got during a shopping trip years ago. It's a goodie and so

so

simple. 

Salsarita Pasta

  • 1.3 lbs (approx) chicken, cut into small chunks

  • Italian seasoning

  • 1 large jar of salsa (on the runnier side, I use Pace Picante)

  • Noodles of your choice (I use whole wheat penne)

  • Parmesan cheese

Directions

  • Coat chicken with Italian seasoning.

  • Sauté chicken with a little olive oil over medium heat until cooked through.

  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in a pot of boiling water.

  • After straining the pasta, stir in the salsa.

  • Add the cooked chicken to the pasta and stir.

  • Let the pasta/chicken cool. Serve room temperature with Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top.

It was a crowd pleaser at our house tonight: Robbe had three servings.
