6 oz (175 g) uncooked bow tie pasta (about 2 1/2 cups/625 mL)
2 plum tomatoes
1 small onion
1 medium zucchini
1 small yellow or red bell pepper
8 oz (250 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tsp (10 mL) olive oil

Slice zucchini into 1/2-inch-thick (1-cm) pieces with Crinkle Cutter. Cut bell pepper into thin strips and chicken crosswise into 1/2-in. (1-cm) strips using Utility Knife. 3. Heat oil in (12-in./30-cm) Skillet over medium-high heat 1-3 minutes or until shimmering. Press garlic into Skillet using Garlic Press. Add chicken. Cook and stir 4-5 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Add onion, zucchini, bell pepper, peas, seasoning mix and salt; cook 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook 1-2 minutes, stirring gently until heated through. Remove Skillet from heat and stir in pasta. Serve with Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Fresh garlic imparts a wonderful flavor to Italian foods. A garlic bulb or head consists of 12 to 15 cloves, each encased in a papery skin. When buying fresh garlic, choose bulbs that are heavy, firm and plump. Store bulbs in an open container in a cool, dark place. When using the Garlic Press you'll find you won't need to peel the cloves before pressing.
