Tasty Tuesday: Greek/Italian/Southwest Pasta

We've been loving this super easy and versatile pasta recipe derived from Kraft Food and Family.  Kraft salad dressings are on sale super cheap this week at Target too which would make this a thrifty meal.  See deal here.


Staple Ingredients in each:
One box of penne pasta
2-3 medium tomatoes, de seed and dice
2 cups cooked chicken, diced

Italian ingredients:
1 bottle of italian dressing
16 oz shredded mozzarella cheese

Greek ingredients:
1 bottle of greek vinaigrette dressing
1 container crumbled feta cheese

Southwest ingredients:
1 bottle southwest dressing
16 oz cheddar cheese

Choose a flavor, and set aside those ingredients to the staple ingredients listed above.  Cook pasta per box directions.  Drain and set aside in serving bowl.  In same pan, heat the salad dressing and chicken until chicken is hot.  Once chicken is hot add tomatoes and heat about a minute more to slightly heat the tomatoes.  Pour the salad dressing, chicken and tomato mixture over the cooked pasta and lightly toss to coat the pasta thoroughly.  Sprinkle cheese on top and add olives (if desired) before serving.
