Chicken Zucchini with Pasta and Pink Sauce

12oz. lean chicken cut in cubes
5 cloves sliced garlic
½c dry white wine
Tuscan seasoning
Salt and Pepper
2T butter

Combine these ingredients in a 4 quart heavy-bottomed pot, simmer-saute' 10-15 minutes then add:

½c chopped purple onion
another ½c dry white wine
1 sliced mini yellow pepper
1 sliced mini orange pepper
½c chopped sun-dried tomatoes
12oz. of your favorite red sauce
4 sm.-med. zucchini - quartered lengthwise

Simmer all this together, covered, over low-medium heat.

¾c dry medium pasta
8-12oz. Alfredo sauce

Meanwhile, cook the pasta separately, in a 2 quart pot, until barely tender.  Drain, then add the pasta to the pot, saving a little of the pasta water to add if needed.

When the zucchini is turning translucent, but not mushy, add the Alfredo sauce, stir, heat again, to a slow bubble, before serving.  The combination of Alfredo and red sauce is called 'pink' sauce, which I feel is a misnomer.  It's actually orange.  Regardless, it's really good.😊. . .Lin
