Fusilli With Chicken (Pasta Dish)

This is what I call a good dish for fussy kids. Most of the kids like to pasta, but not good friends of vegetables. So what I done, is chop it all very finely with a food processor . It won't even show in the pasta. Good way of tricking them and get them to eat more veggies .
