Ingredients
1 box bowtie pasta (about 1 pound)
2-3 cups fresh zucchini, sliced into thin rounds or half-moons
1 jar pasta sauce (24 ounces)
2 cups cooked chicken, chopped or shredded
½ cup grated parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
Directions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the bowtie pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, pour the pasta sauce into a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced zucchini and stir to combine.
Let the zucchini simmer in the sauce for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender but still slightly firm (crisp-tender texture).
Stir in the cooked chicken and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring gently, until the chicken is heated through.
Divide the cooked pasta among serving bowls. Ladle the chicken and zucchini sauce mixture over the pasta and top with grated parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
