Fettuccini Tomato Rustica II

A rustic Italian fettuccine dish with roasted tomatoes, herbs, garlic, and olive oil. Simple, flavorful, and perfect for tomato season.

Ingredients

  1. 1/2 (16 ounce) package dry fettuccini noodles
  2. 1 cup olive oil, divided
  3. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  4. 3 tablespoons basil pesto 1 teaspoon dried basil
  5. 3 cloves garlic, minced
  6. 1 (8 ounce) jar sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and chopped
  7. 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese 1/2 cup ricotta cheese

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken until no longer pink, and juices run clear. Set aside to cool, then slice into bite-size pieces. In a medium bowl, combine remaining olive oil, pesto, basil, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, feta and ricotta. Mix until smooth.
  3. In the large skillet, toss fettuccini with sauce and chicken. Cook on low heat 5 minutes, or until heated through.
