Creamy Pasta Primavera


Creamy Pasta Primavera
By: Kraft Philadelphia

3 cups penne pasta, uncooked
2 Tablespoons KRAFT Light Zesty Italian Dressing
1 ½ lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch pieces
2 zucchini, cut into bite-size pieces
1 ½ cups cut up fresh asparagus (1 inch lengths)
1 red pepper, chopped
1 cup fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
4 oz Neufchatel cheese (low-fat cream cheese), cubed
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese

Cook penne in large saucepan as directed on package.

Meanwhile, heat dressing in large skillet on medium heat. Add chicken and vegetables; cook 10-12 minutes or until chicken is done, stirring frequently. Add broth and Neufchatel; cook 1 minute or until cheese is melted, stirring constantly. Stir in parmesan cheese.

Drain penne; return to pan. Add chicken mixture; toss lightly. Cook 1 minute or until heated through. (Sauce will thicken upon standing.)
