Bowtie Chicken Pasta Recipe
Pasta lovers, this one’s for you! I asked my husband recently what he wanted for dinner, and he suggested I try some type of pasta. The minute he said pasta, I immediately thought of Cheesecake Factory’s Louisiana Chicken Pasta, which I absolutely love. While I didn’t make a copycat version of that, I did pull a few ingredients from it to make a bowtie pasta of my own. Spoiler alert - it was a hit with my whole family!
When it comes to family dinners, especially on a weeknight, I gravitate towards meals that are easy to make and don’t take longer than an hour. Well, this recipe checked off both of those boxes. While I love cookbooks and googling different recipes, I decided to just wing a recipe by combining ingredients and seasonings I love — and it worked! I love bell peppers and spinach, so I knew those would be go to’s for veggies in the pasta. I also made a side of broccoli, using my go to recipe found here. Below are the details for you to try this pasta for next dinner or lunch.
INGREDIENTS
6-8 chicken tenderloins
bowtie pasta
2 bell peppers
scallions
1 cup of spinach
chicken breading
olive oil
1 garlic clove
parmesan cheese
heavy whipping cream
seasoning to taste (I use Mojo from The Spice Suite, Tabitha Brown's Sunshine all purpose seasoning by McCormick and a dash of seasoned salt)
DIRECTIONS
Boil water and make pasta according to box.
Rinse chicken, then pat dry. Dip chicken in chicken breading and fry in a skillet with oil (flip on both sides) and cook until done. Set aside.
Chop garlic and bell peppers. Add oil to pan and sauté garlic, peppers, and spinach until done.
Add about a 1/2 to 1 cup of heavy whipping cream to pan. Add seasoning. Add pasta and stir together. Add more cream if needed.
Add parmesan cheese, then add cooked chicken, and top with scallions.
Enjoy!
