A bowl of Garlic Chicken Pasta With Prosciutto.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

If you want an impressive pasta dinner that's packed with flavor, try this garlic chicken pasta with prosciutto. It's filled with tender chicken breast chunks sauteed in butter, alongside sweet tomatoes and salty prosciutto. Roasted red peppers and pasilla chiles are mixed in to add some spice and a smoky flavor. We loved the flavor fresh basil adds. Served over linguine pasta with an ample amount of savory, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, it's a delicious pasta dish.
