Sequence Step
1Cook whole wheat pasta according to package directions. Drain when finished cooking, set aside but keep hot.
2Lightly saute diced red pepper in olive oil. (Use large enough sauce pan to combine all ingredients.)
3Add evaporated skim milk to pan.
4Add cornstarch to about 1/4 cup of the chicken broth and blend until smooth. Then add all the chicken stock to the evaporated skim milk-pepper mixture.
5Add the chopped fresh basil and pre-cooked diced chicken. Continue cooking and stirring until milk-chicken stock mixture thickens.
6Add the Parmesan Cheese and pre-cooked whole wheat pasta and stir to mix evenly and to make sure pasta is also hot.
7Divide into 4 servings. Garnish with basil leaf if desired. (Serve with tossed salad and french/garlic bread.)
