JOY PHILBIN'S PASTA WITH CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI

8 oz uncooked bow tie pasta
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1/2 inch wide strips
1 1/2 cups small broccoli flowerets
3/4 cup sun dried tomatoes, thinly sliced
1 tsp dried basil leaves
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup chicken broth
1 tbsp butter or margarine
Grated Parmesan cheese (for serving)

Cook pasta according to package directions; drain.

In large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Saute garlic for about 1 minute, until golden, stirring constantly. Add the chicken strips and saute until white and almost completely cooked.

Add the broccoli and saute until crisp-tender.

Add the sun-dried tomatoes, basil, red pepper, salt and pepper. Add the wine, then and the broth and butter. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until heated through, stirring occasionally.
