Combine all Ingredients in One Pot for this Mouthwatering Creamy Chicken Parmesan Pasta

You've gotta love any recipe that allows you to cook everything in one pot. There's nothing like easy clean-up after a delicious meal. Afterall, we have other things to take care of, right? I also make one pot spaghetti with meat sauce and one pot chicken fettuccine alfredo embellished with bacon are two other family faves.

Helpful Tips

• You can use any larger tube shaped pasta that you prefer for this recipe. I recommend using a pasta with ridges to soak in the yummy sauce.
• Chicken thighs will work beautifully in this recipe, too.
• At the end of cooking, you can thin further using additional chicken stock. Likewise, you can thicken using additional tomato paste.
• Add 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes to the pot for additional kick.
