BASIL CHICKEN AND PASTA
This is a great quick meal; the chicken and sauce can be prepared in the time it takes to cook the pasta. You can add more cream or less pasta if you like it creamier. Try ziti or farfalle pasta to add even more variety to this recipe. The leftovers don't heat very well, so eat it all up the first time!

ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH BASIL-TOMATO SAUCE (AND CHICKEN)
Delicious and relatively healthy & light pasta dish. This is modified from "The Low Fat Good Food Cookbook," which in turn modified from a restaurant, Villa Romano, in Nashville, TN. I have added grilled chicken to it - to make it into a main course, but you can try it without or with some other sort of meat...

Steps:
- Heat skillet on medium. Spray with nonstick spray.
- Cook pasta according to directions. (I put the water on to boil while I'm cooking the garlic/onions/chicken, so the pasta is finished about the same time as the rest.).
- Toss in onion and garlic. Stir 1 minute.
- Add chicken. Stir and cook 3-5 minutes, until chicken is mostly cooked through. At this point, I sprinkled with some ground pepper.
- Add can of diced tomatoes and half of basil.
- Simmer 3-5 minutes, until basil is wilted.
- Add sun-dried tomatoes and rest of basil.
- Simmer another 2 minutes or so, to let the sun-dried tomatoes soften.

CREAMY PASTA WITH CHICKEN, BROCCOLI AND BASIL - LOW FAT VERSION
This comes from a Pam Anderson recipe. I love creamy pastas like alfredos, etc... but don't like all the fat. This recipe is a great solution. By using 2 percent evaporated milk, instead of heavy cream, the fat content is cut considerably. The flavor and consistency is still wonderful, in my opinion. I love this recipe because: it's lower in fat; you can use left-over chicken (or cooked rotisserie chicken); cooking the broccoli in the same pot as the pasta saves an extra pot to wash, it's an easy one-dish meal! There are many variations you could try with this recipe, too. Notes: 1.this recipe calls for diced tomatoes - if you'd prefer a more traditional alfredo-type sauce, I think you could probably omit the tomatoes and it would be just fine. 2. Also, if you like your pasta spicier you could add more red pepper flakes than the amount called for. 3. I find it very helpful to have all my ingredients prepped/chopped and ready before I start cooking - especially for this recipe. 4. Make sure you reserve about a cup of the pasta cooking water - it helps to thin out the finished product, if necessary. Have fun and enjoy!

Steps:
- Bring about 2 quarts of water to a boil - add a tablespoon of salt to the boiling water.
- Add pasta and use the cooking time given on the package to cook your pasta al dente. Stir frequently at first to prevent pasta from sticking.
- Add the broccoli to the boiling pasta water during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

- Salt and pepper to taste and let simmer for about 5 minutes to blend flavors.
- Drain pasta and broccoli, *reserving 1 cup pasta cooking liquid* and return to pasta pot.

BASIL CHICKEN OVER ANGEL HAIR PASTA
I am having a "clean out the pantry/freezer/fridge" week and did a search for some of the ingredients I had on hand. This recipe came up and it was perfect for what I needed. If you find that you want it to have a little more sauce, during the simmering step, add a little bit of Italian Salad Dressing. Delicious!

BASIL WALNUT PESTO PASTA AND CHICKEN
I tried a reduced fat Pesto sauce recipe a while back. I didn't care for it. It lacked flavor. I decided to make one by reducing the fat. This is not a very low fat recipe. It has olive oil in it. It is a reduced fat version I made up. My family liked it. My husband being a fussy Italian ate almost 3 plates of pasta with this...

Steps:
- 1. Put basil.walnuts,and parmesan cheese in food processor. Blend well. add remaining ingredients starting with olive oil,and sour cream. You can adapt ingredients to get the flavor you are looking for.
- 2. Chill
- 3. Keep in fridge and stir in to warm pasta before serving. I do a serving at a time.
- 4. Cut chicken breast up. I use chicken tenders. cook in olive oil add a clove of garlic minced when chicken is almost done. Don't want to burn garlic. add garlic salt and pepper to taste. I transfer my chicken to grill to give it that grilled flavor.
- 5. steam broccoli.Serve brocooli and chicken on top of pasta with sauce
- 6. note: you may use lite sour cream and reduced calorie bread in this recipe. Originally I came up with this to reduce the calories.The bread gives it a texture as if there is more cheese in it than there really is.
PERUVIAN CHICKEN & BASIL PASTA (SOPA SECA)
Steps:
- Add all of the basil leaves and 1 cup of chicken stock to a blender. Puree until smooth. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine chicken with ground cumin and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add annatto seeds and fry for about 6 minutes, stirring often. When the oil is dark orange and the seeds lose their red color, remove pot from the heat. Strain the oil to remove the seeds. Add the strained annatto oil back into the pot. Place the pot back on the burner over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken, browning on all sides, then transfer to a clean bowl and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add onions and fry until softened. Make sure to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. When the onions have softened, add the garlic and fry for one minute, stirring constantly. Add ají panca paste (if using) and stir to combine with the garlic and onions. Fry for one minute, stirring often. Add carrots and fry for one minute.
- Add the tomatoes to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often, or until the tomatoes cook down and the oil separates from the mixture.
- Add basil puree and stir to combine. Wait for the mixture to come to a simmer. Add salt to taste. (You'll want this a little on the saltier side since you'll be adding pasta to this.)
- Add the pasta to the pot so they're evenly spread out. Add the rest of the broth and raise the heat to high. Gently nudge the pasta with a wooden spoon around the edges of the pot. Be careful not to break the pasta. You just want to move the pasta around slightly in the sauce. Repeat this every 30 seconds or so until the pasta is pliable, which should take about 5 minutes. Gently stir to coat the pasta with the sauce. Add the chicken to the pot and stir to combine.
- If the pot has not come to a simmer yet, bring to a simmer. Make sure the pasta is mostly submerged in the liquid.
- After 5 minutes, uncover the pot and stir, making sure to scrape up any pasta that may have stuck to the bottom of the pot. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pot again. After 5 minutes, uncover the pot and stir again.
- Continue to cook uncovered over medium-low heat until the pasta is cooked through and has soaked up the liquid, about 5 to 10 minutes. You can opt to have a wetter sopa seca or a dryer sopa seca. It's a matter of personal preference, and one way is not considered more authentic than the other. When the sopa seca has reached the desired consistency, remove from the heat and stir in the parsley. Garnish with the optional avocado cubes.
