Bow tie pasta Recipes with chicken and peas

Q: What is the purpose of bowtie pasta?

Farfalle is also called bow tie pasta because of its shape. This versatile pasta works great with light base (olive oil, butter) as well as rich sauces (cream, tomato, pesto), and can taste great in salads. It can be used as dressing for your bowl of stir-fried veggies/meat.

A very nice kid-friendly meal; with simple flavors and is easy to make. Great use for left-over roast chicken. Thanks.
This is a great family-friendly meal, and a great way to use up leftover chicken. I recently made it for my moms' recipe club and it was a hit! I make this fairly regularly, except I usually substitute the lower fat soup to save some fat and calories.
BF called this dish boring, un-inspired and he'd prefer my chicken pot pie over this stuff...yeah, he's pretty decisive about what he likes ;)
Perfect for the kids. But for me I'd need to add some onions.
