Gemelli in my belly!

As much as I love to cook, I have to admit, it becomes a stressful chore at times. We all have busy lives, and trying to prepare hot, healthy meals can become a challenge. I too, fall into temptation when passing by a fast food place or the pizza take out at Costco. Oh, and forget about the kids, they would forgo the most delicious home cooked meal for pizza. That said, one of the things that never fails to please a crowd is a nice warm plate of pasta....gluten phobes you've been warned!

Please look away if my pasta offends your sensibilities. One can whip this dish up in 20 minutes. Give or take a few.
Ingredients;
2 ribs of chopped celery
1/2 cup of chopped red bell pepper
1/2 small white onion chopped
2 fat cloves of garlic minced
2 large boneless chicken breasts sliced into bite sized pieces
salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste
1 16oz  box of Gemelli pasta cooked in salted water until al dente
grapeseed oil to sautee vegetables and chicken in, and a good quality olive oil to finish pasta
Parmigiano Reggiano slivers or grated Parmesan out of the green plastic cylinder if you live at my house.

Directions;
Sautee vegetables in oil until soft and translucent, add chicken and slightly brown.
Deglaze pan with water, white wine, or chicken broth...choice is yours.
add cooked pasta and toss with a generous amount of a fruity olive oil.
Finish with Parmigiano, red pepper flakes, and a little chopped parsley to taste.
This is marvelous served with a salad and garlic bread.
