Chicken Penne with Pine nuts

This is one of the boys favourites. It is one of the quickest meals to make so I normally use it on a night when our schedule is crazy. I use a bag of pre-cooked cubed chicken (prepared earlier)from the freezer to speed things up. We have also used BBQ chicken for this recipe and it is good too.

1 500g bag penne pasta
1 jar of Leggos stir through sauce (sundried tomato, basil and parmesan flavour)
500g diced chicken breast
50g+ pine nuts (toasted)
grated parmesan cheese to taste

Method:
Boil pasta. At the same time toast pine nuts. Also defrost frozen cubed chicken in microwave. I ad the defrosted chicken to the pan of boiling pasta for the last few minutes to make sure it is heated through well enough and then drain it all together. Mix through stir-through sauce and pine nuts, serve and sprinkle with parmesan cheese according to taste.
