    As fall begins, my family is craving heartier meals and honestly, I am too. Pasta is always a winner and chicken and sun dried tomato pasta is a regular on our weekly roster. Pasta Alla Salmone is a delicious seafood version of this.

    Sardo Makes Weeknights Easy

    I partnered with Canadian company, Sardo Foods again this month. (Remember this month's amazing Fire Roasted Sweet Pepper Soup, Easy Greek Quinoa Salad and that luscious Artichoke Panini? All made with Sardo's' super yummy Mediterranean products!)

    The Best Sun Dried Tomatoes...Really!

    Sardo's sun dried tomatoes are naturally sweet, fresh tasting and soft. They add the perfect pop of bright flavor to this chicken pasta. These are fresher tasting with a softer texture than most other packaged brands and the ones that I always use.

    Ingredients

    Mushrooms, onions and Sardo sundried tomatoes ready for fettuccine recipe.

    Chicken Stock - I kept the pasta light by using mostly chicken stock with just a bit of cream at the end to give a luxurious texture. Pasta is so delicious but if it is too heavy or rich, we tend to shy away from eating it often. Low calorie stock is the perfect base for this sauce.

    Fresh Pasta - So much better than dried, I encourage you to splurge on fresh noodles when you can.

    Fresh Herbs - Crisp, fresh parsley finishes it off perfectly with an extra bright green burst of flavor.

    Step By Step Instructions

    1. Start by browning your chicken. The deeper brown you get it, the more flavor you will infuse into your sauce. Once the chicken is browned, add in your onions, saute a few minutes and add in the broth ingredients. Simmer until lightly thickened.
    Chicken broth in a pan with chunks of browned chicken and onion is simmering with bubbles at the edges.

    2. Add in the tomatoes, cooked pasta, cream and parsley. Toss to coat and heat through.

    3.Serve immediately.

    Substitutions

    • Herbs - If you don't have parsley, use basil or chives. Sage works too but use half the amount as you would for the parsley.
    • Stock - Veggie stock will work just as well as chicken stock.
    • Mushrooms - Don't worry if you don't have access to wild mushrooms. Regular white or brown mushrooms or any mix of mushrooms you can get at your local grocery store will work just as well.

    Variations

    Vegetarian - Swap out the chicken for browned, firm tofu, extra mushrooms or chickpeas added near the end of cooking. Use vegetable stock in place of the chicken stock and you have a delicious vegetarian pasta dish.

      This is the perfect combination for sundried tomato pasta. I used to make something like this all of the time and then sort of forgot about sundried tomatoes! You are right about the marinated ones...they are so much better than the leathery dried ones!

      This pasta dish is perfect for busy weeknights. It's so fresh tasting and vibrant,. I will definitely be looking for the Sardo's brand for sun-dried tomatoes.
