A Weeknight Family Favorite

At our house, easy pasta is a lifesaver on busy week nights! This amazing easy creamy chicken pasta is one of our absolute family favorites. This delicious pasta dish is not only incredibly tasty but also comes together quickly with minimal cleanup. Imagine pasta soaked in a luscious creamy sauce, packed with fresh veggies and tender chicken. At our house, we serve it with fresh fettuccine, but it pairs perfectly with fussili or farfalle too!

Why You’ll Love This Creamy Chicken Pasta Recipe

Whipping up this creamy chicken and vegetable pasta is a breeze. Start by whipping together a quick homemade tomato sauce, easily blended to perfection. While the tomato sauce simmers, chicken and vegetables are sautéed until golden. The tomato sauce is then thickened with cream and cheese, creating a rich, creamy sauce. Finally, everything is mixed together and poured over your favorite pasta. This dish is a huge hit with both kids and adults and has become a regular in our weeknight meal plan.

Did I mention it’s really quick to make? Your dinner will be ready in just 30-45 minutes, depending on how speedy you are at chopping the veggies 😉

Tips for Perfect Creamy Chicken Pasta

• Cut the zucchini and mushrooms into small cubes for quick and even cooking.
• Watch the garlic closely as you sauté it–it shouldn’t turn dark.
• Check your pasta’s cooking time on the pack to get it perfectly al dente.
• Use only fresh basil for the best flavor, or skip it if you don’t have any on hand.
• Consider doubling the recipe so you have leftovers for tomorrow’s dinner. Your fresh pasta should be cooked on the day you plan to eat it, though.
