Pasta with Chicken in a White Wine Cheddar Sauce

I have had this recipe starred in my google reader for quite some time now. This has been on my menu plan for a couple weeks in a row and for one reason or another I never ended up making all the meals. Finally, last week I made it. Now I’m sorry it took me so long –this was GREAT! Joe ate the leftovers for lunch the next day and said they were just as good.

1 1/2 Cups white cheddar cheese, grated

Add wine and cook until reduced, about 2 minutes. Add broth and simmer until slightly thickend, about 2 minutes. Add cheese and stir constantly while returning to a boil. Add Ziti, turning to coat.
