Cheesecake Factory Pasta Recipe (sort of!)

[Jeafl]

After ordering this at Cheesecake Factory, I tried to duplicate it at home, and it worked out great! It's also extremely easy!

Bowties with Grilled Chicken & Sun-Dried Tomatoes

1 lb. box bowtie pasta, cooked
1 to 1 1/4 lb. grilled chicken, cut in thin strips
1 19-oz. jar sundried tomato alfredo pasta sauce (or use regular alfredo)
1/2 cup heavy cream (or half & half)
3/4 cup. chopped sundried tomatoes
1 small can musrooms (or use fresh)
1/2 c. frozen peas (or you can omit)
Grated parmesan cheese

Heat sauce and milk. Add tomatoes, mushrooms, chicken and peas. Cook until very hot. Toss with pasta, then sprinkle with cheese.

I served this with salad, french bread with butter and roasted garlic cloves. Everyone loved it!

Bless you, bless you!! This is my favorite! Well, except that we eat it at the Macaroni Grill but it is about the same. Happy dance, guess what we're having for dinner?

This sounds really good. I've only been to Cheesecake once and don't remember what I ate.. Next time I trying this. (or I'll make your recipe first.)
