Peter's Favorite Pasta

The following recipe was given to me by my friend Sandy over 5 years ago when our girls were still babies.  At the time, it was her husband Peter's favorite dish and has remained a family favorite of ours ever since.  Since the original recipe Sandy wrote out for me is now water stained and almost illegible, I decided that it was time to preserve it and share.  Enjoy!!!

{original recipe given to me by Sandy}

Penne Pasta (1/2 to 3/4 box)
Chicken Breast Tenderloins
1 Pack Sliced Mushrooms
1 Package Sliced Mushrooms
1 Package (or less) Sun Dried Tomatoes
1 Packet Knorr Alfredo Mix (per directions)

  2. In same pan, melt 2 Tablespoons of butter and saute mushrooms until cooked, add sun dried tomatoes and drizzle with olive oil.
