Goat Cheese Pasta with Chicken and Tomatoes

Disclaimer : At any given time, when I refer to chicken, it is usually meant to refer to Quorn Chicken Substitute. 

Ingredients: 
Chicken, as much as you want, cubed
2 oz goat cheese
8 oz mezze penne pasta
3/4 C Olive Oil
1 C grape tomatoes, halved
2 T chopped garlic
1 T Thyme


1. Boil enough water to cook pasta ... follow general pasta cooking directions or read the box :)
2. While pasta is in the process of cooking, oil, add in garlic, thyme and tomatoes. Simmer until tomatoes are tender and oil is aromatic and flavorful!
3. Cook chicken according to general chicken cooking directions. 
4. Once pasta has been drained, stir in 2oz of crumbled goat cheese and stir until thoroughly melted and coating the pasta. Add in chicken and herb/tomato infused oil and mix thoroughly. 
5. EnjoY! 

Wifey's Critique: Definitely needs more cheese, but it was simply delicious :) The grape tomatoes were delicious with the goat cheese, but I have to make a substitution next time. QUorn makes a "chicken" breast that has goat cheese and cranberries in the middle which is just to die for. I wonder how it would taste to add in dried cranberries in place of the tomatoes (not cooked, of course, just added in the end)... mmmmmm
