During the busy week I managed to throw together a  tasty pasta dish packed with protein,  healthy fresh vegetables and some cheesy pasta.  This dish is really easy to throw together and it can be modified to your liking!

Ingredients:

• 1 Zucchini
• 1 package chicken tenders, cut thin and bite sized
• 1/2 package baby bella mushrooms
• Garlic (2-3 cloves)
• 1/4 cup reduced fat milk
• Extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2lb whole wheat angel hair pasta
• Fresh grated parmesan Cheese (few tablespoons)
• Fresh grated gruyere
• White wine (half a cup)
• Fresh parsley
• Salt & pepper

Directions:   

• Put a pot of boiling water on. You will cook pasta until al dente.
• Slice up your mushrooms and zucchini very thin so it will go well with the angel hair pasta.
• Saute garlic, mushrooms, zucchini and chicken in olive oil on medium-high.  Season with kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper.  After a few minutes add the white wine and let reduce.  (If you want, here would be a good time to add a tablespoon of butter. I didn’t but it sure would add some more flavor.)
• Add the milk and turn the heat down to very low.  Grate in the cheese (as much as you want to make it nice and creamy!)
• When the pasta is done add it to your saute pan to let it absorb the flavors of your sauce and mix it together well.
• Serve topped with some more parmesan cheese and fresh chopped parsley (or basil).
