While chicken is cooking, bring large stock pot to boil and cook penne pasta. This is one of my favorite pasta salad recipe's for a warm summer day. I like to make more than I need and store the leftovers in the refrigerator for ready made meals. Chicken Alfredo pasta was my favorite "fancy" restaurant order as a kid — luxe sauce clinging to fettuccine Or it could just be that the rich sauce gets too cold and clumpy while waiting for delivery. Just before serving: Cook the pasta according to the package directions.
