This recipe is quick to make after a long day at work or day trip. Don't skimp on the garlic it adds some great flavor. I probably add more than I listed here.

Ingredients:
1—16 oz bag of penne pasta
1/2 chicken strips
Mrs. Dash or salt substitute
1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
3 tablespoons chopped fresh garlic, sliced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
5 tablespoons olive oil
2 lemons, juiced
3/4 cup grated Parmesan
3 tablespoons fresh or dried parsley, chopped

Directions:
Cook the pasta per cooking instructions on bag.

Meanwhile, saute chicken with 2 tablespoon olive oil, Mrs. Dash and Italian seasoning until fully cooked.

Remove chicken from pan and set aside. Keep warm.

Keep juices in frying pan and add remainder of olive oil, red pepper flakes, garlic and lemon juice. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes.

When pasta is ready drain and add to a large bowl. Add garlic, lemon and olive oil from the frying pan. Mix well.
