Chicken & Vegetable Pasta

Last Saturday was one of those days when you get back home from work and your mom is making your favorite meal and suddenly you forget how long the day had been at work and how much you are tired and longing for the weekend. In fact, this was the perfect start to the weekend! the only credit I can take for this post is of the picture other than that it was all my loving mother's efforts :)
