Simple, fresh, delicious pasta dish with tomatoes, Kalamata olives and capers.
Ingredients
  • 1 16 ounce box bow tie pasta (If you need GF, the Barilla Gluten-Free Pasta is quite delicious!)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes, cut in halves or quarters
  • ¼ cup Kalamata olives, seeds removed and cut into quarters
  • 2 tablespoons capers
  • 1 cup garden green beans
  • 2 large grilled chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
  1. Prepare the pasta according to package directions. When the pasta is ready, pour out the water in a colander and return the pasta to the saucepan. Add a tablespoon or so of olive oil and stir until the noodles are covered to prevent sticking.
  2. While the pasta cooks, heat a large skillet to medium and add the olive oil. Toss in the garlic and stir until the garlic becomes fragrant and just barely starts to brown, about one minute. Add the tomatoes and stir until the juices start releasing, about two minutes. Add the olives, capers, chicken and green beans and stir until the green beans are bright green and all the ingredients are heated through. Mix the vegetables with the pasta and serve with freshly grated parmesan cheese.
