Chicken Pasta Puttanesca


           Dairy-Free
                       This zesty Italian favorite can be made with most ingredients you
                       already have on hand. The olives and capers give a briny flavor
                       to the sweet tomatoes, and the spicy kick from the crushed red
                       pepper can be tamed or pumped up depending on how you like it.
                       Garnish the pasta with fresh parsley, if desired.
                       Perfect Pair: This dish goes well with a classic Caesar salad. To
                       make, chop romaine lettuce and drizzle it with Creamy Caesar
                       Dressing (page 304). For a modern twist, grill halved romaine
                       hearts before drizzling them with the dressing.
