Chicken sun dried tomato bow tie pasta recipe

“…no one is born a great cook, one learns by doing.” ~Julie Child

I came across this recipe in a magazine, years ago.  It’s from Regis Philbin’s wife, Joy, and it is so, so delicious, not to mention how colorful and appetizing it looks!

FYI, I made a few tweaks to the original recipe, but doesn’t this look wonderful!

I always start off by slicing and preparing the main ingredients.  As soon as I’m done with this, I begin the pasta.  While the pasta in cooking, I start with the extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet and beginning adding and cooking each ingredient.

The above photo is what it will look like before adding in the pasta.  The coloring of the tomatoes will start changing the color of the chicken broth to a more tomato shade.

Once everything has cooked, add in the bow-tie pasta and gently toss.

I scoop ours into our pasta bowls, and serve it with a simple salad and fresh artisan bread.  Your guests will be asking for this recipe!
