Garlic Chicken w/ Bow Tie Pasta

submitted by KMcF

I love this recipe first and foremost because the ingredients are fairly common, which means I had them on hand! Second because it was delicious! I have two picky eaters in this house and both of them told me to add it to the "Carver Family Cookbook". I don't know if they used my maiden name because it wasn't Fey worthy or what, but I still took it as a compliment! The only time I ever use pasta is for sphaghetti, so I was excited to incooperate another delicious dish.

P.S. Picture might not give it justice, I can't say I am the best at presentation, or taking pictures!
