- ½ tsp. black pepper
- 1 cup diced yellow squash
- ½ cup onion, diced
- 2 cups farfalle pasta
- ½ tbsp. minced parsley (garnish)
- For the sauce
- 2 roasted red bell peppers, roughly chopped

- Place shielded colander with chicken inside base (without removing pasta). Cover with shielded cover and microwave on high power 8 minutes.
- While chicken begins to cook, make the sauce. In the base of the Power Chef® System fitted with the blade attachment, combine bell pepper, feta, tomato paste, garlic, oregano, cream, vinegar, salt and pepper. Cover and pull cord until pureed.
- Transfer mixture to the 2-cup/500 mL Micro Pitcher. Microwave on high power 45 seconds. Stir and microwave 45 seconds more.
