Pasta Primavera with Chicken
This pasta dish did a fast disappearing act after it was served and to tell you the truth so did the second servings. I may just be the deliciously creamy cheesy sauce, everyone found irresistible. They all said it was delicious, they loved every bite and wanted more.
Pasta, chicken, mushrooms, red pepper, broccoli and that great sauce I mentioned.
With this recipe, you will be able to have dinner on the table in 30 minutes.
Even the picky one here devoured two bowl and that NEVER happens,
so grab the ingredients and skillet and let’s get cooking…..
Then you will have lots of time to enjoy all types of other things,
I’m sure you have a mental list a mile long. I know I do!

Simple easy weeknight meal, perfect for Back to School time.
I can’t believe it’s Back to School time already!
But I sure am glad I have another easy meal to get on the table fast that everyone enjoys, because once school starts things get awful hectic! Often I feel like a chicken with it’s head cut off, running around practically in circles. The car doesn’t stay in the garage for more than a few minutes and I’m off again. Oh how I already miss the more relaxed days of summer!
Summer is too short.
I’m missing it already and my kids are only back in school one day.
Well, one kid is. The other has me busy waiting on him hand and foot at the moment. He broke his ankle…yep….the day before school started…..#nofun!
Pasta primavera is one of my favorite dishes. Yours is making realize I have not made one all season. It’s time.
You can’t go wrong with pasta primavera!!! It’s one meal I can always count on my kids to like. And your description of the disappearing act has me sold!
I am pretty obsessed with dishes like this right now. My pregnant belly wants all the carbs! And I’m officially hungry… 🙂
I am a total carb girl and was when I was pregnant (years ago of course) congrats on expecting 🙂
