Chicken Bow tie Pasta

Another recipe from Jennifer Meyer that I love!

4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp dried basil (crush in hand first)
6 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup chopped tomatoes (at least!  I like more...)
1/2 cup chopped green onions
2 pkg grilled chicken strips
1 box (12 oz) bow tie pasta, cooked and drained
1/3 cup grated Romano or Parmesan cheese

Cook pasta per directions on box, drain.  In large skillet heat oil, basil and garlic for 2 minutes.  Stir in chicken and heat approximately 4 minutes.  Add pasta, onion and tomato.  Stir and heat 2 minutes.  Stir in cheese, season with salt and pepper.  Serve immediately so it doesn't dry out.

Low-carb option: I tried this with zucchini noodles instead of the pasta and it was delicious.
