This is really a good dish. I used jar mushrooms, b/c I didn't have fresh. I also used skim milk w/the flour, to reduce calories. Didn't have black olives, but will add next time.

Pretty decent easy recipe, a nice change up from my preferred pasta with red sauce. It was my first time using Harvati and it was tasty, though I probably used 1 1/2 or 2 cups (instead of just 1 cup total because I didn't want to save the rest of the cheese. I also forgot (until another person mentioned that the chicken she used in this recipe was cooked with teriyaki and liquid smoke previously so since I had teriyaki on hand I cooked my chicken in that before I made the recipe to add more flavor. I also added lots of minced garlic because I can't have a dish without it! I will make again but will probably add some onions. My husband said this was good without me having to ask which says alot!

I tried this dish instead of traditional gravy and meatballs and it was a huge hit!! Instead of fusilli I used penne and also, which was great, I used sausage instead of chicken. I bought the skinny coiled Italian cheese & basil sausage, cut it into bite size pieces and fried it up. It gave a great flavor to the sauce. Love this recipe! Love Robin!
