Ingredients
2 cups uncooked penne pasta
4 cups hot water
2 1⁄2 cups frozen peeled and diced butternut squash
2 tsp oil
1 lb (450 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Sea Salt, to taste
Black Pepper, to taste
1⁄3 cup milk, your choice
1 tbsp butter
1 1⁄2 tsp Herb & Garlic Dip Mix
1⁄4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
In Multipurpose Steamer, combine pasta and hot water. Top with tray; place squash on tray. Cover; microwave on high 12 min until pasta and squash are tender.
Meanwhile, thinly slice chicken; season with salt and pepper. In Wok, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken; stir-fry until golden-brown and cooked through, about 5 min. Remove from heat.
Once pasta and squash are cooked, using a spoon, place squash in blender. Drain pasta; set aside. Add milk, butter and dip mix to blender; purée. Mixture will be thick.
Add drained pasta, sauce, and cheese to wok; toss to coat. Taste and season with more salt and pepper, if desired. Spoon into bowls and add toppings, if desired.
