Chicken-pasta Primavera

This is a family favorite! I love summertime, because this dish always tastes better with the vegetables in season. I have used frozen broccoli, and minced garlic, but really it's best to use all fresh, and freshly grated parmesan. It is so light and fresh, yet filling! Enjoy it leftover too as the flavors marinate.

Ingredients:
1 cup chopped broccoli
1/3 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 carrot, cut into very thin strips
3T olive oil
2 cups cute-up cooked chicken or turkey
1 teaspoon salt
4 medium tomatoes
4 cups hot cooked pasta (wheels, bowtie, shells)
1/3 fresh grated Parmesan cheese
2T snipped parsley

Directions:
Cook and stir broccoli, onion, garlic and carrot in oil in 10 inch skillet over medium heat until broccoli is crisp tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in chicken, tomatoes and salt; heat just until chicken is hot, about 3 minutes. Spoon chicken mixture over cooked pasta; sprinkle with cheese and parsley.
