I had a hankerin' for tortellini! As I have told you before, my husband doesn't enjoy pasta so we rarely eat it. I decided that he could put up with it for one night. My daughter was so excited to see pasta cooking! She is a pasta fan, especially if Alfredo sauce is involved.
For this dish you will need:
- 3-4 boneless chicken breasts
- 1 large package of Buitoni 4 cheese Tortellini
- 1 10 oz container of Buitoni Light Alfredo Sauce
- 1 15 oz can of Artichoke Hearts
- 1 cup sliced asparagus
- 1 zucchini (This is the 1st one from my garden!)
- 3 tbsp of fresh lemon juice, divided
- 2 tbsp olive oil (I forgot to put my olive oil in the picture, darn it!)
- kosher salt
- cracked pepper
- tomatoes quartered
- loosely chopped basil
- grated parmesan
Cook the pasta according to directions on package.
Slice your veggies and chop your basil. Cook asparagus and zucchini until tender crisp in a little salted water. Place the cooked pasta into a large bowl and toss with remaining lemon juice.
Add the sliced veggies, sliced chicken, and Alfredo sauce and toss.
Top with Parmesan , chopped basil, tomato wedges, and a little cracked pepper.
This really hit the spot!

Alfredo sauce is one of my favourite thins in the world! I like how you added all the protien and veggies to make what could have been a fattening meal quite healthy. :)
Hi, I made lemon and basil marinated chicken breasts yesterday, and served it with tomato and cucumber couscous. Nobody complained. So I guess it was ok. I love cheese tortellini, but I usually serve them alone, not as a side.
Very nice, love your peas ... too cute.
My family LOVES Pasta. They would go crazy if I cooked this! Really they would.
I'm in the process of planting me a garden too!

This looks fantastic! Don't you just love the Buitoni pastas?

Great tortellini...must taste fabulous with the sauce and all the other ingredients...yummie! Love the pea pods in the pictures...awesome!
Fantastic! Great way to enjoy tortellini!
Mmmmm, love the veggies in this pasta dish. And the tortellini..and the lemon chicken. Guess I better make it.
Very cute peas! I have an herb garden but maybe I should graduate to some veggies! This dish looks sooo good and as usual, easy to make! I havn't forgotten our "joint venture". I was thinking picking a country or a region within that country and a dish/wine from that area(along with sights and sounds). Whatdya think?
Looks great. Lots of veggies make it extra appealing. My husband isn't that crazy about pasta either but I love it.
An, yes, your peas are very cute.
I get happy when I see pasta with alfrdo sauce too! This looks really delicious-lovely flavors going on here.
Everything you make is so amazing! YUM! And what a cute little pea pod. My peas are growing, but no pods yet!
Have a super week!
XOOX

Good to find you! I love your garden peas! Oh I so wish I could grow my own garden...I'm with your husband on not eating pasta too much. *sigh*
My mouth is watering. I would love this.
This recipe looks delicious! I love all the fresh vegetables you put with this- I am going to have to try this soon! (I made your recipe for the Asian Turkey Burgers last night and they were great!!!) Thanks for all the recipes that you put on your blog!
That just made my tastebuds go wild with envy! Gotta save it and try it sometime this week! Can't fail neglected tastebuds lol
That honestly looks like heaven in pasta and veggies. I am totally sold. And if you ever come our direction I will highjack your car and steal you from your family with a ransom of cooking for a few days. ;)
