2 1/2 tablespoons pine nuts
1 lb multi-colored farfalle pasta
12 ounces triple cream brie cheese

2 cups hand-chopped ripe roma tomatoes
3 teaspoons chopped garlic
2 tablespoons hand-chopped Italian parsley or 2 tablespoons cilantro

1
Pound the chicken breasts to even thickness with a meat mallet to cook evenly.

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

14
Throw away the rind and set the cheese aside.

Toss or slowly stir over low heat for two minutes or until the cheese is completely incorporated into the sauce.
