Summer Chicken and Veggie Pasta

Hey sistas, here is an easy meal that I just came up with tonight, and that Danny and I loved!  We get one of those fresh produce boxes every other week, and had a bunch of veggies I needed to use up before they went bad.  I love meals with lots of veggies incorporated into the main dish, so looked at what I had in the fridge, freezer, and pantry, put it all together, and ended up really liking it! 

Ingredients:
1 box Pasta Roni, fettucini flavored (and the water, milk, and butter for preparing it)
6 chicken tenders
sea salt and fresh ground pepper
rosemary
basil
italian seasoning
parsley
olive oil
1 bunch green onions, chopped
2 minced garlic cloves
few handfulls fresh spinach
1 zucchini
1 yellow summer squash
Couple dashes red pepper flakes
2 tomatoes, chopped

Season the chicken generously with sea salt, ground pepper, and rosemary, and bake at 375 for 18 minutes (or until done).  Begin cooking the Pasta Roni as directed with the water, milk, and butter.  Also add basil, rosemary, and a little Italian seasoning to the pasta mix. While cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet.  Saute garlic, green onions, and spinach for a few minutes until spinach is slightly wilted.  Set aside in a bowl. In the skillet now saute the zucchini and summer squash with the red pepper flakes for a few minutes until softened.  Add the spinach mixture and tomatoes.   the chicken is done, cut it into thin slices and add that and then the finished pasta roni. Mix it all together in the skillet, and enjoy!
