Quick Healthy Dinner

Wednesday nights are busy in our house: online classes, volleyball and work. So a recipe like this is perfect. It is quick, easy, healthy AND has pasta...Who doesn't love pasta? I have been cooking this meal for awhile now and it is always a hit, and is great leftover. I made sautéed mushrooms as a side also. Enjoy!
