CREAMY GARLIC PENNE PASTA

This recipe is from Jill on Simple Daily Recipes. She has some great child friendly tips and recipes. All but one family member (child #2 who doesn't like much anyway) liked this dish. Jill gave a good tip about blending the sauce so that the kids don't find anything chunky in it. I loved that idea. That way no one asks, "What are these little things?" My Braun hand blender worked like a charm for this step. I also added some freshly grated Parmesan right before serving.

CREAMY GARLIC PENNE PASTA

2 1/2 c. penne pasta, cooked (I used about half of a dry 1 lb. bag.)
4 T. butter
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/3 c. sliced onion
1/4 t. salt
4 T. flour
1 (15 oz.) can chicken broth
1/2 c. sour cream
1/2 t. salt
1/8 t. pepper
2 roasted chicken breasts, diced
fresh tomatoes, diced
freshly grated Parmesan

Cook pasta. In a separate frying pan, cook garlic, onions, and 1/4 t. salt. Add flour, cook 2 minutes stirring constantly. Stir in broth, cook until simmering. Stir in sour cream. Add salt and pepper. Now is a good time to blend the sauce if you want to. Pour sauce over hot pasta and chicken pieces. Garnish with sliced tomatoes and fresh Parmesan.
