"How about a pasta dish with a creamy homemade tomato sauce for dinner one night this week?! I've teamed up with my friends at @RedGoldTomatoes and @thefeedfeed to bring you a zesty chicken + pasta dish that will make just about everyone around your table happy! I found the most fun little pasta noodles that I could find, then did some Italian seasoned chicken, and the most amazing tomato cream sauce using Tomato Love canned tomatoes! Tomato Love tomatoes are picked from a family farm at the peak of freshness, then are mixed with fresh green chilies, are seasoned, and are canned within an hour of leaving the tomato truck! I think that's pretty incredible, and it definitely makes them super fresh! You can absolutely taste the difference!"

ingredients

For the Pasta

  • 1 pound pasta
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 2 cubed chicken breast
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

ingredients

For the sauce:

  • 3 tablespoon butter
  • 1 can Tomato Love diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 can Tomato Love diced tomatoes, with juice
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 (8 ounce block) cream cheese, cut into 1-inch slices
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
  • 1/3 cup olive oil

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 375F degrees.

  • Step 2

    Cook your pasta according to the directions on the box, then drain.

  • Step 3

    Return pasta to the pot and along with broccoli florets. Cover with a lid to steam.

  • Step 4

    Heat butter over medium heat in a medium skillet (I used cast iron). Add cubed chicken breast, salt, and Italian seasoning, and cook chicken thoroughly, about 7-9 minutes.

  • Step 5

    Add cooked chicken to pot with pasta and broccoli and cover with a lid.

  • Step 6

    Make the sauce. Add butter, both cans of Tomato Love Diced Tomatoes (remember to only drain one can!) and heavy cream to the pan you cooked the chicken in. Once warm, add cream cheese to the skillet, stirring continuously. Add minced garlic and Italian seasoning, and stir until all of the cream cheese has melted. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about five minutes to thicken the sauce a little bit, stirring occasionally.

  • Step 7

    Once sauce has reached a thickened consistency, add it to the pot with pasta, chicken, and broccoli. Add parmesan and stir thoroughly.

  • Step 8

    Transfer the pasta mixture to a large baking dish, drizzle with olive oil, and loosely cover with foil.

  • Step 9

    Bake until cheese is melted and flavors combine, about 15-20 minutes

  • Step 10

    Scoop into bowls, and serve immediately. Enjoy!

  • Step 11

    Note: use two cans of Tomato Love Mild Diced Tomatoes to keep the spice level down, or use original Tomato Love Original Diced Tomatoes for a little added zest! I actually use one of each!
