Katherine's One-Pot Chicken Alfredo

• 1 cup Thrive freeze-dried chopped chicken
• 1 tsp. Thrive chicken bouillon
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp. pepper
• 14 oz water
• 1 cup cream
• 1/2 lb pasta (I like the Thrive Whole Graine Penne Pasta or the spirals)
• 1/4 cup Thrive dehydrated carrots
• 1/4 cup Thrive freeze-dried broccoli
• 1/4 cup Thrive freeze-dried cauliflower
• 1 1/2 cup Thrive freeze-dried Parmesan cheese

Combine all ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil.  Simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the pasta is tender, stirring occassionally.  Just before eating, add the Parmesan cheese.  There should still be some liquid in the pasta to hydrate the cheese nicely.
