This is a great spring dinner I got this from the Kraft foods magazine and tweaked it some.

3 cups penne pasta, uncooked ( I use the whole wheat)

2 tbsp. light zesty italian reduced fat dressing ( I used Fat free)

1½ lb boneless skinless chicken breast cut into chunks

2 zucchinis cut into chunks (I use only one)

1½ cups cut up fresh asparagus ( I use the tips only)

1 red pepper ( I do not use)

1 cup fat free reduced sodium chicken broth

4 oz neufchatel cheese

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated ( I use reduced fat)
