Chicken, Broccoli with Pasta

 Ocean's Mom (Washington) says:
I had satayed some cubed chicken breast the night before in soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil and garlic and was looking for a pasta recipe to go with it. The only veggie I had left in the fridge was broccoli so this recipe fit the bill. I used a casarecce italian pasta 'cause thats what I had and sprinkled it with olive oil once it was cooked and drained. I satayed the broccoli in olive oil and sesame oil till it turned dark and added my leftover chicken to heat up for a minute and served with a little parmesean. It turned out delicious and my 2 year old is having his second helping as we speak using his kids chopsticks made by hogwild (they call them dipsticks) which he just loves, check them out online mommas. Thanks for the great simple and quick recipe- it was just what my family needed after a long day at work.
