Creamy Chicken and Sun Dried Tomato Pasta
A delicious and flavorful pasta dish that combines tender pasta with a creamy sauce and the tangy, chewy texture of sun dried tomatoes.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 Box Chickpea Pasta I like Banza
- ¼ Cup White Onion diced
- 1 tablespoon Garlic minced
- ¼ Cup Sun Dried Tomatoes roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Parsley, dried
- 1 teaspoon Oregano, dried
- ¼ teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
- 2 Cup Chicken Broth
- 2 tablespoon JOI Cashew Base
- 1 Chicken Breast cooked and cubed
- 1 cup Spinach
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pan. Start boiling water in a pot for the pasta.
- When the water is boiling, cook the pasta according to the package.
- To the pan, add diced onions and minced garlic and saute until the onions are translucent.
- Add Italian Seasoning, parsley, oregano, and red pepper flakes to the onions and garlic and saute for 2 minutes.
- Add sun dried tomatoes, Cashew base, and chicken broth to the pan next. Mix until the cashew base is combined, creating a cream like sauce. Let this simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Add the cooked chicken, cooked pasta, and spinach and mix until everything is coated and spinach is wilted.
- Serve with a few extra red pepper flakes on top and enjoy!
Notes
- If the sauce is too thick, be sure to add 1 tablespoon of chicken broth at a time until it is the desired consistency.
- Serve over your favorite noodles or veggie noodles.
- This would also be really good paired with spicy sausage instead of chicken.
