Pasta in a Hurry

This has become a staple in our home and I have made it several times for other families. It is quick, easy, and I always have the ingredients or substitutions. This recipe came from Rosemarie(I will have more from the master of meals). The kids love it!

Ingredients:
16 oz rotini pasta (I use whole wheat pasta)
4 TBS olive oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (cut into bite-sized pieces) or rot. chicken
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/4 tsp salt
1 1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 1/4 tsp dried basil
1 1/4 tsp dried oregano
1 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (I have substituted artichokes, olives, or grape tomatoes in the past)
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Cook and drain pasta as directed. While pasta is cooking, heat olive oil and saute chicken, garlic, salt, garlic powder, and oregano until chicken cooked. Add sun-dried tomoatoes and cook for 2 more minutes. Remove from heat and toss with pasta. Add parmesan if desired.

Daniel Fast Option: omit chicken, cheese, and use grape tomatoes in place of the sun-dried.
