2 cups cherry tomatoes (or grape) |
3 cups chicken broth |
3 cups penne, uncooked |
3/4 cup dry white wine (such as chardonnay) |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper |
1 1/4 cups basil leaves, lightly packed, divided |
1 ounce parmesan cheese, grated (about 1/4 cup packed) |
2 cups chicken breasts, grilled and diced |
Directions:
1. Spray deep microwaveable baker with olive oil. Slice garlic into baker. Add tomatoes. Cover; microwave on high 4-5 minutes or until tomatoes begin to burst, stirring after 2 minutes. Crush tomatoes with a spoon or spatula. Add pasta, broth,wine, salt and black pepper.
2. Return baker to microwave; cover and microwave on high 16-18 minutes or until pasta is tender, stirring after 10 minutes. Meanwhile, coarsely chop basil. Reserve 2 tbsp for garnish. Grate cheese.
