Chicken and Pasta

K- picture is not as good as it tastes.
I have heard about marinating chicken in Italian Dressing, but it was organized cooking that reminded me of it, so easy.

Pronto Pasta Bake
adapted from Pampered Chef

12 oz rotini pasta (I've added other kinds of pasta, and wheat pasta)
1 medium zucchini, coarsely chopped
1/2 of yellow squash coarsely chopped (really you could use more zucchini or more squash with whatever you have)
2 garlic cloves
1 jar 48 oz spaghetti sauce (with basil, or anything you like)
2 oz Parmesan cheese (this would be nice, but I choose to spend money else where)
2 cups of mozzarella cheese

375 degrees. Cook pasta. Press garlic, add zucchini, and sauce in bowl. I split this recipe into two 9x9, or 8x8 pans and freeze one for later. If you have a bigger family use 9x13 pan. Layer 1/2 sauce, 1/2 pasta, and 1/2 cheese, then again. Cover and cook for 45 min, uncover and bake for 5 more min.

Serve with yummy garlic bread. A lot like a mini lasagna, bet you could add meat too. Yummy.
