Italian Noodle Medley Recipes

ITALIANO CHICKEN AND PASTA MEDLEY

Steps:

• Cook the chicken and garlic in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until the chicken is well browned, stirring often. Remove the chicken mixture from the skillet.
• Stir the stock, tomatoes, Italian seasoning and black pepper in the skillet and heat to a boil. Stir in the pasta. Reduce the heat to medium. Cook for 10 minutes.
• Stir in the vegetables and cheese. Return the chicken to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the pasta is tender. Serve with additional cheese.

Steps:

• Microwave vegetables according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the cheese, bread crumbs, garlic powder, seasoned salt and pepper. Drain vegetables; stir in butter. Sprinkle with cheese mixture.

ITALIAN VEGETABLE MEDLEY

Steps:

• In a large nonstick frying pan put the olive oil, garlic and red chili flakes (optional). Heat over high heat until the edges of the garlic start to brown.
• Add the carrots, yellow squash and zucchini and stir to blend.
• Add the Italian seasoning and stir again.
• Flip the vegetables over occasionally using a spachula. Some of the vegetables should get brown spots on them, but the vegetables taste best if there is still a slight crispness to them.
• When the vegetables are ready, add salt.
• Turn off heat.
• If desired, stir in a deseeded and diced roma (plum) tomato at this time-optional.
• I have had similar recipes at Italian restaurants, so I eventually made up my own recipe to go with my meals at home.
