Grandma would prepare this each Sunday morning before we went to church. It’s still my favorite!

This creamy garlic chicken pasta is a lifesaver for those busy weeknights when you crave something comforting yet quick to prepare. Inspired by my love for Italian cuisine and the need for a hearty meal after a long day, this dish combines tender chicken with a luscious garlic sauce that clings beautifully to the pasta. It’s a dish that feels like a warm hug, perfect for family dinners or even a solo treat.

This creamy garlic chicken pasta pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad dressed in a light vinaigrette to balance the richness of the sauce. You might also enjoy it with a side of garlic bread or a slice of crusty baguette to soak up every last bit of the delicious sauce. For a touch of freshness, consider serving it with steamed or roasted vegetables like asparagus or broccoli.
