Fusilli with Chicken and Tomato Sauce

This is the first meal made from my 20 from 1 experience. My loving hubby made it while I was still cooking up a storm. There is a recommended order to making the meals so you get the most variety. When I post recipes, you'll know what order I cooked them. In the picture's caption, I will write where in the order the recipe is originally recommended, followed by the building blocks it requires, as seen below.




#3, BB 2 + 4
So quick explanation of the caption: This is recommended to be the 3rd recipe you make from the building blocks (#3). It uses building blocks 2 & 4 (BB 2 + 4). See this post with the building block recipes to know what building blocks are which number.

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 box (16 oz.) fusilli pasta (I used rotini b/c I had it on hand.)

  • 2 tbsp. butter

  • 3 cups Pulled Chicken

  • 2 cups Tomato Sauce

  • 6 oz. mozzarella, diced (1 ½ cups)

  • salt and pepper

  • ⅓ cup grated parmesan

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
DIRECTIONS
In large pot of boiling, salted water, cook pasta until al dente. Drain, reserving ½ cup cooking water. Return pasta to pot, add butter and place over medium heat. Add chicken and tomato sauce and toss well. Add reserved pasta water and mozzarella; season with salt and pepper. Top with parmesan and parsley.
