This delicious, hearty pasta dish can be made in just 10 minutes but is infused with lots of flavor and texture. Served warm or cold, it’s ideal for a summer luncheon or quick weeknight supper. On special occasions, you can drizzle a little white truffle oil over the dish. It features bowtie pasta that's tossed with artichoke hearts, chopped chicken breast, green peas, pimento peppers, fresh basil, and sun-dried tomatoes. It's all topped off with some crumbled feta cheese as the finishing touch. You can also make this vegetarian by omitting the chicken and adding rinsed and drained canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans) if you prefer.
