Name: Lemon Pasta with Chicken and Pine Nuts
Yield: Makes 4 to 6 Servings
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons plus 2/3 cup canola oil or vegetable oil; 3/4 pound skinless boneless chicken breast halves; 12 ounces lemon-pepper fettuccine or regular fettuccine; 2 1/2 cups snow peas (about 5 ounces), cut into matchstick-size strips; 3/4 cup pine nuts, toasted; 3/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley; 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice; 2 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

"Gelson's market here in Los Angeles has a fantastic variety of prepared foods in the deli," says Susan Baker of Los Angeles, California. "My mother, who doesn't have a Gelson's where she lives in Tacoma, would make a trip to Southern California just for their lemon chicken pasta. I'd love to surprise her with the recipe."

This dish is best served either chilled or at room temperature.
