Chicken Primavera with Summer Squash
This is a simple pasta dish made with summer squash, basil, and mushrooms. The sauce is made easy with a can of chicken soup—though no one would ever guess that that is the secret ingredient.
We took this dish to a block party. It was a cool day and we had no way to keep it warm. But that didn’t matter. Folks kept coming up and asking for our pasta salad recipe.
