    Microwave sauce for 30-35 seconds until very warm. Add hot pasta to your liking. (Start with about 4 oz. Add more, if you like, up to 6 oz. You want there to be enough sauce.) Pasta and sauce need to be added hot. Microwave, if necessary. Add chicken to sauce and then add to vegetable mixture. Add garlic powder, if using.Toss gently until combined and hot. Check for salt, pepper and garlic powder. Serve immediately.
