PENNE WITH CHICKEN, SUN-DRIED TOMATOES AND PINE NUTS
This pasta dish looks and tastes great. It looks stunning served in bowls or large, restaurant-like plates. I love sun-dried tomatoes and fresh basil! The pine nuts add a nice touch. Roast the pine nuts in a skillet on low heat. Watch the nuts as they turn brown (and then black) suddenly. Serve this tasty dish with fresh parmesan cheese and a glass of wine.

Steps:
- Cut the sun-dried tomatoes into thin stripes. Keep the oil.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for ripe sun-dried tomatoes, juicy chicken breasts, and a flavorful cheese like Parmesan or feta.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken can quickly become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook it until it is just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what brings this dish together. Use a store-bought sauce or make your own using fresh tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and herbs.
- Add some vegetables: Vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or zucchini can add color, flavor, and nutrients to this dish. Sauté them in a little olive oil before adding them to the pasta.
- Serve with a sprinkle of cheese: A sprinkling of Parmesan or feta cheese can add a finishing touch of flavor and richness to this dish.
