This Chicken Pasta with Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce has to be one of my favorite, quick, family-friendly meals. Ready in less than 30 minutes, it makes a perfect busy weeknight recipe.
I start by cooking my pasta in a stockpot while cubing my chicken and quickly cooking it in a skillet.
Then, once it has cooked, I remove it to a bowl as I prepare my cream sauce.
I drain my pasta and toss it into the cream sauce, making sure get as much of that cream sauce goodness on the noodles as possible. Then, the chicken goes back into the skillet, along with a few hands full of fresh spinach, salt and pepper and voila, supper is ready!
I love recipes like that!

If i freeze this should i freeze the chicken seoarately or can the whole dish be frozen together. How best to thaw and re-heat?
Trying this tonight with Shrimp instead of chicken – looks amazing
Hope you enjoy it, Anna! xo
Excellent recipe! I made a double batch to freeze before baby comes. It is a super easy meal that is warm and hearty. I’m definitely looking forward to eating this after our baby is born!
