Creamy chicken pasta recipe
If you love both pasta and chicken, this recipe is a winner. You only need one pan to make this creamy chicken pasta with sun-dried tomatoes and spinach. This makes it extra easy to make and saves you washing up, ideal on those busy weeknights 😉 .
Easy one-pot dish
Easy does not mean less delicious, because this really is one of those cases where you don’t need a lot to make a fantastic meal. I have more in this category of pasta recipes on my blog, such as the delicious pasta pesto and my pasta carbonara.
This creamy chicken pasta is so delicious because of the sun-dried tomatoes I added to the pasta. The cream sauce is made with Italian seasoning, garlic and heavy cream and it’s served with Parmesan cheese. The perfect pasta if you ask me, just add some al dente pasta of choice and you’re done!
