An Easy One Pot Pasta Recipe

One thing I love to make are one pot pastas. They are so easy to prep and make and the one pot aspect makes doing dishes way easier. This year, for Valentine’s, I’m going to kill two birds with one stone. I’m going to do a meal prep and cook a Valentine’s dinner. Plus this chicken mushroom spinach pasta is the perfect chicken meal prep idea if you want to make extra to take to work with you!

To give the recipe a bit more of a Valentine’s vibe, I used bow tie (farfalle) pasta. There’s something about it just makes it look so cute and lovey dovey feeling to it. It does great with cream based sauces so I decided to make a creamy mushroom, spinach, and chicken pasta. While the recipe calls for a cup of cream, the potassium in the mushrooms, a zillion healthy benefits of spinach (zinc, fibre, vitamins, etc), and protein from the chicken balances out the cream in my books.

If you cannot find this pasta, an alternative would be gemilli or any smallish pasta, keeping on the cute vibe. But seriously, bow tie pasta are the cutest. Now sure if the H will appreciate it the cuteness factor but I sure do.

What I Used For this One Pot Creamy Mushroom Chicken Spinach Pasta

olive oil

chicken breast

onion

garlic

mushrooms

salt & pepper

broth

cream

pasta

parmesan

spinach

I used the Ballarini Treviso Ceramic Saute Pan. It was just deep enough to fit all the ingredients without being too deep that it made the cook uneven/needed constant stirring. This pan has Thermopoint (that little green dot up above) where it will turn red when the pan is hot enough to start cooking and goes back to green when it is cool enough to be safely washed, touched and moved to other surfaces. No more doing the temperature pat test for this girl.

Ballarini offers a wide range of coatings, including traditional, granitium and ceramic, all of which are free of harmful chemicals. Made in the culinary epicentre of Europe, Ballarini’s products have been tested and recommended by some of the top kitchens in Italy.
