"I am so excited to find a recipe from the East Side Mario's chain...I never had a dish I did not like there! I was so sad when the franchise left Ohio, but now I can duplicate an old favorite right at home! This is fabulous! Directions for roasted tomato: I usally buy the Hunt's brand of fire roasted tomatoes and substitute. You can follow the directions here though: http://www.ourbestbites.com/2008/10/oven-roasted-tomatoes/"

Place chicken breast on grill and season with salt and pepper and grill until fully cooked. Once chicken is fully cooked, julienne 1/4 inch.
While chicken is on grill, place sauté pan on stove and turn flame to medium heat.
Place pasta in a pot of boiling salted water and cook to manufacturer's specifications.
Allow pan to heat, add oil and place garlic and peppers in pan and sauté gently.
When garlic is cooked, add julienned hot chicken breast.
Ladle Alfredo sauce and sun-dried tomato pesto on top of pasta. Toss pasta thoroughly, add tomatoes and bring to a boil.
Mix pasta thoroughly so that all pasta is coated with sauce.
Transfer pasta to bowl, bringing chicken, peppers and tomatoes to the top for a colorful presentation.
Garnish with parsley sprig and a pasta spoon.
*If oven-roasted tomato is not available at your market you prepare them at home. Slice 6 roma tomatoes and place on a baking sheet. Spray with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 30 minutes until the edges begin to brown. You can remove the skins if you like, but it is not necessary.

I am originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota and moved to Ohio in 1978. It was quite a culture shock going from the city to living next to the Amish. I spend most of my time cooking, cleaning and caring for my four kids. I have abandoned cookbooks and now cook from favorite, wilted recipe pages and the internet. I fell in love with my Italian family recipes (Scavo, Rotella, Scalzo, Micelli, Grande, Gigliotti) and my Mom's homecooked meals.
