Pepperoni Chicken Pasta

Ingredients
1 tablespoon garlic butter
1 teaspoon roasted garlic
3/4 pound steak-topper vegetables (fresh pre-sliced mushrooms, onions, bell peppers)
30 pepperoni slices
1 (10-ounce) package refrigerated cooked chicken strips
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 1/2 cups pasta sauce
8 ounces ziti pasta

Steps
1. Fill large saucepan half full of water. Cover and bring to a boil on high for pasta. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes.
2. Place garlic butter in sauté pan; swirl to coat. Add garlic and steak-toppers. Separate pepperoni slices; add to pan. Cover and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until vegetables begin to soften.
3. Stir in chicken, Italian seasoning, and pasta sauce. Reduce heat to low; cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to combine flavors and until thoroughly heated.
4. Stir pasta into boiling water. Boil 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until tender.
5. Drain pasta and return to saucepan. Stir sauce mixture into pasta until well blended. Serve. (Makes 6 servings.)
