directions

Step 1

Bring large pot of water to boil for pasta. In blender or small food processor, purée roasted red peppers with vinegar and sugar to make about 1 cup (250 mL) purée (add more peppers if necessary); set aside. Cook pasta for 10 to 11 min or until tender. Drain; return to pot.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in large nonstick skillet, heat half of butter over medium-high heat. Brown chicken strips in batches; transfer to bowl. Reduce heat to medium and add remaining butter to skillet; cook garlic, onion, basil, oregano, 1 tsp (5 mL) salt and the pepper, stirring, for 3 min or until softened. Gradually stir in Cream then Milk; simmer, stirring often, for about 5 min or until slightly reduced and thickened.

Step 3

Stir in chicken with any juices and red pepper mixture. Simmer, stirring often, for about 5 min or until chicken is no longer pink inside. Season to taste with salt. Pour sauce over pasta and sprinkle with fresh basil. Toss gently to coat. Serve sprinkled with Parmesan.
