- 16 ounces whole wheat penne
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated

- While the pasta is cooking, saute the minced garlic and diced onion in the olive oil until the onion begins to soften.
- Add broccoli to the onion and stir to coat with oil. Cook broccoli until it is heated through.
- Add the alfredo sauce to the broccoli and stir to combine. Allow to heat thorough and remove from heat.
- Toss alfredo mixture with the cooked and drained pasta.
- Top with sliced chicken breats and parmesan cheese.
- Serve with a crisp green salad and garlic bread.
- * If alfredo sauce is too thick, add 2-3 tablespoons of milk to thin it out.
