Yet another snowy day

Its snowing... again. Don't worry folks its May 1st. I am done with school in 15 days and then it's summer, but it certainly does not feel like summer right now. I thought I would share one of my favorite pasta dishes today, Marge's Holiday Pasta. 

Ingredients:

1/4 cup + 1 T olive oil
1/2 cup minced garlic
1 box linguine
1 1/2 skinless, boneless chicken (cut into chunks)
3 Anaheim raw chilies (deseeded and chopped)
3 plum tomatoes (diced)
1/2 cup thinly chopped fresh basil
4 oz proscuitto ham (chopped)
2 T butter
1 cup fresh parmensan cheese
salt and pepper
Directions:
Heat 1/2 cup olive oil over medium heat
Add garlic and saute until brown
Strain garlic from olive oil and retun oil to pan.
Add enough olive oil to make 1/4 cup
Add chicken and cook 5 minutes
Add chilies and cook 2 minutes
Add tomatoes, basil, ham, reserved garlic, and saute for 1 min
Remove from heat and add butter, stir until melted
Add linguine and 1/2 cup parm cheese and toss until mixed well
Add salt and pepper to taste
Sprinkle with remaining cheese

Hopefully your weather is better than ours...

Ps. Happy one year anniversary to Caitlin and her boyfriend Jeff
