    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.

    The perfect pasta for Valentine's or just a meal prep for the week. Either way, it's delicious, creamy, and easily made in one pot!

    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.

      OMG! I NEED that pan! I kind of… destroyed mine this weekend. You know… got in a fight with my husband and needed to to smash something into the floor. Who would of thought a metal pan could bend in half like that? Ha ha!

      So fingers crossed! This hot head needs a new pan!

      Your dish looks beautiful and so pretty with the bows! I think I would make a skillet lasagna dish where everything is in one pan. It is like a messy lasagne dish but with cottage cheese spooned on top in dollops and then sprinkled with parmesan. An easy 30 minute meal that goes right to the table in the pan, much like yours. Beautiful pan and thank you so much for the awesome giveaway and chance to win!
