Garlic Chicken Pasta with Roasted Tomatoes

Garlic chicken pasta with roasted tomatoes comes together to make a flavorful and memorable dish. This will quickly become part of your dinner rotation.

I love throwing my favorite ingredients together to make a delicious fresh pasta dish.  That is how this garlic chicken pasta came to be.  I started with penne pasta, grilled chicken, and  garlic. Then I added  in some grilled zucchini, fresh basil, and parmesan cheese to the mix.  And finished it off with the show stopper, roasted tomatoes.

This pasta dish is so delicious.  Roasting the tomatoes takes a little time and effort but it is so worth it.  Trust me on this one.  If you really don’t want to roast tomatoes, some fresh sliced cherry tomatoes added into the pasta would be delicious too or use jarred sun dried tomatoes you can purchase at the store.

    Hi,

    This recipe looks awesome and I am going to try it.

    I love the taste of basil, I’m Italian, but I cannot get the basil flavor in my cooked foods no matter how much I put in. Fresh or dried is the same. Someone told me to add the fresh basil at the end of cooking because cooking kills the flavor.

    How can I get the nice distinct basil flavor in cook foods? THank you so much.

      If I am using fresh basil I always add it at the very end for a fresh basil flavor
