Fettuccini Tomato Rustica I is a twist on the classic Italian dish of pasta with tomato sauce. In this version, the pasta is tossed with sun-dried tomatoes, roasted red pepper, and crumbled goat cheese, which gives the dish a rich and creamy texture. The flavors are well-balanced, with the tangy sun-dried tomatoes and creamy cheese being complemented by the smoky roasted red pepper. The dish is finished with grilled chicken breast halves, which add a boost of protein and make the meal more filling. This is a hearty and flavorful meal that is sure to satisfy!

Instructions

1.	Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

4.	When the noodles are done, drain them and add them to the skillet with the vegetables.
5.	Add the grilled chicken breast halves and crumbled goat cheese to the skillet and toss everything together until it is well combined.
