Steps

1

Fill a large pasta pot with water to the top and place on high heat to boil
2

Add the 2 cups of California blend veggies to a medium sauce pan and cover with water. place on med-hi heat to boil as well. Time according to package or until desired tenderness. Usually about 10 mins. Drain, cover to keep warm.
3

Cube chicken into bite size chunks. If using Tysons freezer chicken place on plate/dish and microwave for 1-2 minutes to make cutting easy. Add chicken to a deep skillet coated with nonstick spray. If using raw chicken brown in skillet with nonstick spray until opaque.
4

Pour Classico Alfredo sauce over chicken in deep skillet and stir. (I add 1/4 cup milk to 1st jar, shake, pour to 2nd jar, shake, then add to skillet) Simmer on med-low heat until heated through. Cover and remove from heat.
5

Once pasta water is boiling add salt and stir. Then add in rotini or desired shape pasta. Stir again to prevent sticking and throughout the cooking process. Time according to the package, usually 8-10 minutes for aldente. Note: Do Not add oil to your pasta water as this will make your pasta repel the sauce!
6

Once pasta is aldente or desired tenderness, drain off water. Note: Do Not rinse your pasta, you will wash away startch that holds the sauce to the pasta!
7

In a large bowl add sauce, vegetable mix, and pasta. Toss to combine.
8

Top with parmasean cheese if desired. Serve with a crisp garden salad and crusty garlic or French bread.
