Italian Green Bean Chicken Pasta

Do you have really bad days?  I don't know why I am even bothering to ask because of course we all have really bad days.  Well my yesterday was really bad.  I guess I was due.  

I don't have much to post so I will leave you with this pasta dish I made quite some time ago.  It has lots of fresh basil and reminded me of spring.  

Here is to better days.

  2. It is nice to pop in here and find a tasty one dish meal that uses green beans. My recipe collection for green beans is very slim. I would have never thought of using them with pasta, wish I had though. Tasty creation! Have a great weekend!
