Hit & Miss

Last night and tonight I made two new recipes- last night's was a success...tonight's could have been better.  This can happen to anyone - DO NOT get discouraged (like I kind of did tonight.)  Just try it again, or try something different. 
So, here's the good recipe from last night.

Pasta Primavera
9-13 oz whole wheat Penna pasta
2 frozen chicken breasts, thawed and cubed
2 Tbsp minced garlic
1/4 cup Zesty Italian Dressing
4 oz cream cheese, cubed
1 cup milk
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese
6 Tbsp. butter
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1-2 cups small broccoli florets
1 cup halved baby carrots

Heat dressing and minced garlic in medium skillet.  Add cubed chicken and cook until no longer pink.  Remove chicken with slotted spoon and place on plate - cover to keep warm.  Place cream cheese, milk, Parmesan, and butter into same skillet.  Cook on medium-low heat until cream cheese is completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring occasionally.  Add pepper, garlic powder, and nutmeg - stir until well blended.
Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package - add chopped broccoli and carrots for the last 5 minutes.  Drain.  Return to pot.
Toss pasta mixture with cream cheese mixture.

This was, of course, delicious!  Way better than the lame recipe I attempted tonight.  It's not even worth sharing with you...oh well.  Hope you enjoy the pasta!
