      Title: Easy Caprese
 Categories: Pasta, Poultry, Vegetables, Chicken, Herbs
      Yield: 4 Servings

      1 lb Penne pasta (8 c)
      2 c  Shredded chicken
      8 oz Fresh mozzarella pearls -OR-
      2 c  Mozzarella; shredded
      2 c  Cherry tomatoes; halved
      1 ts Salt
  1 1/2 c  Basil pesto
    1/2 c  Fresh basil; chopped

  Set oven @ 425°F/218°C.

  Cook pasta according to package directions. Set aside.

  In a large mixing bowl, combine chicken, pasta, cheese, tomatoes,
  pesto, and salt. Stir until well combined.

  Evenly distribute pasta in a 9x13" baking dish. Bake for 25 to 
  30 minutes or until it is heated through and cheese is bubbly. If
  pasta browns too quickly, cover with foil.

  Top with chopped basil before serving.

  Notes: Rotisserie chicken worked a treat here. And that jar of
  basil pesto I bought last summer for a different project. The
  recipes as I got it said serves 8. I've altered that to reflect
  reality.  Bv)=
