Helpful Tips for Making Pasta

  • 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.

  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic salt divided
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper or red pepper flakes
  • 1 medium onion finely diced

  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh Italian parsley

Instructions

  • In a large heavy bottomed pot or dutch oven, heat a couple of drizzles of olive oil over medium high heat.
  • Add chicken pieces. Cook just until lightly browned, the chicken doesn't have to be cooked through. Season with 1/2 tsp garlic salt. Remove to a platter using a slotted spoon.
  • To the pot add more oil, if needed. Add onion. Cook for 2-3 minutes over medium-high, just until beginning to brown. Add garlic, cook for one minute longer.
  • To the pot add chicken, pasta, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, stock, 1 tsp garlic salt, pepper and 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese. Mix well. Bring to a boil, then lower to medium-low (strong simmer) and simmer covered for 15-20 minutes or just until pasta is al dente.
  • Uncover, add 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella plus chive and onion cream cheese. Stir until cream cheese is completely melted and mozzarella is fully combined.

  • Serve immediately garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • At the end of cooking, you can thin further using additional chicken stock. Likewise, you can thicken using additional tomato paste.
