ooohhh... creamy garlic penne! that sounds great! if my husband wasn't having a sudden aversion to garlic right now i'd steal the recipe from you. :( poor me, i love garlic!
Fabulous! I made this for dinner tonight. I really liked it. Thanks! I substituted the chicken with asparagus (I had a bunch from Sam's). We hope that you are doing well!
