Pan-Seared Chicken & Orecchiette Primavera

with Parmesan Cream Sauce & Spring Veggies

Primavera is Italian for Spring, so naturally we've loaded up this pasta with plenty of spring veggies! We think orecciette is the perfect vehicle for a creamy, cheesy sauce like this one. Spiced up with a little chili pepper heat, this pasta is bound to please!
