1 carrot, sliced diagonally into 1/4" pieces
1 package (10 ounce size) frozen broccoli florets, thawed
2 cloves garlic, minced
12 ounces angel hair pasta
2/3 cup chicken broth

Heat remaining oil in same skillet. Begin heating water for pasta. Add carrot to skillet; cook, stirring, for 4 minutes. Add broccoli and garlic to skillet; cook, stirring, for 2 minutes longer.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Make your mornings a little less hectic with these overnight breakfast recipes. Prep the night before and enjoy a warm, comforting meal in the morning.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

There was not a drop left in the bowl when dinner was done. It was so simple and quick to make. What a great find. You have to try this one but watch out, you will not have any leftovers to put away!!!

I was looking for an easy recipe to make for my teenage boys who love both chicken and pasta. Sounded easy enough though it did take some time to cook the chicken, mince the garlic, chop the carrot and add each addition. I would defintely give it a 3 for difficulty-- not so much hard, as just time consuming. Results? Flavorful, fresh dish-- not from a frozen package with all the additives. Worth the time.
