Lemon Tomato Chicken Pasta

Some of the simplest and quickest meals are the best tasting.  I especially love those that are balanced with veggies, protein and the perfect amount of comfy carbs.

The breezy warm days and chilly autumn nights of California are here and we must bundle up with scarves and light jackets when we are out and about.  In the evenings when we get home from work and school, we seek warm and cozy dishes such as this Lemon-Tomato Chicken Pasta.

Tangy and creamy pasta sauce made with Hunt’s Petite Diced tomatoes and sauce, drench this basil seasoned thick cavatappi pasta making it so heavenly that leftovers are nowhere to be found.  The creaminess comes from a small amount of cream cheese to tame down the citrus from the lemon peel and tomato tang.  Bliss….

You can’t go wrong with this hearty weekday meal.  Make a big batch and freeze it for impromptu dinner guests or a yummy craving on those days when you run out of cooking time.
