Kraft Kitchens Tips

Substitute

Don't have fresh garlic? You can use 1/2 tsp. garlic powder instead.

How to Easily Chop Basil

Leaves of basil are stacked, rolled lengthwise into a "cigar," then finely sliced into strips or ribbons. This term is known as "chiffonade." It's a quick and easy way to chop basil leaves.

I have made this recipe several times, it is a house favorite! However, I made a change to it. To make it more of a main dish I use whole wheat pasta instead of the egg noodles! Works great and makes the dish a bit more filling!

Delicious and very easy to make! I added Oscar Meyer Grilled Chicken Breast strips to mine as I didn't have time to cook the chicken. I also used whole wheat noodles for a little added nutrition.

Love this recipe! EASY TO MAKE, tweaked it for what I had on hand-used more chicken, dried basil, different pasta noodle, roma tomatoes. Great as a warm dish, but I think it would be yummy served cool for summer months. I may add in broccoli or asparagus just for fun!
