Due to diets of family members, I had to make a few changes so we could all enjoy this. I used chick pea angel hair pasta because it's low carb (for the diabetic family member) and gluten free (for the gluten intolerant). I also used a veggie substitute for the chicken (for the vegetarian) Last but not least, I added extra garlic, just because we love it! Turned out great! We all enjoyed it. Next time I may add even more garlic (did I mention we love garlic?) Thanks for a quick and tasty week night meal!

Made this for PAC Spring 2012 and boy was this a hit with my better half...he says I can make this as much times as I want...I did use fresh liguini that I needed to use up instead of angel hair, otherwise followed recipe...great easy fresh taste..I suspect if you did not have fresh basil some pesto in it would do just fine.
