Salsa Verde Pasta

This took 30 min and only one pot.  No colander or anything so way less dishes.
1/2 pound of penne pasta
1 1/2 cups of salsa verde (i used the stuff they sell at Costco)
1 cup of pepper jack cheese
1 can of chicken broth
1 cup of shredded chicken (you can use diced too)
1 cup of cream
fresh lime juice
salt and pepper to taste
Whisk cream, chicken broth, and salsa verde together and bring to a simmer.
Mix in dry pasta and continue to simmer.  Still occasionally to prevent sticking until the pasta  is tender.  About 15-18 min. 
When pasta is done and most of the liquid is absorbed.  Stir in 3/4 of the cheese and melt.  Then stir in chicken.  Be sure the cheese is all the way melted before you add the chicken or it will clump onto the chicken.
Brighten up with a juice from a couple of limes and adjust salt and pepper as needed.  Top with left over cheese.
