About Creamy Chicken Pasta
Delicious pasta with creamy chicken, mushroom garlic sauce, milk, butter and Parmesan cheese. This creamy chicken pasta is not only delicious and easy to make, but it's also light thanks to the use of milk.
This pasta was created because a lot of people, myself included, stayed away from my Chicken Alfredo because of the heavy cream used. Not anymore, this pasta tastes so creamy and light because it uses a combination of milk and parmesan cheese to create that creamy flavor.
The starch in the pasta water is added to the sauce, creating the emulsification that makes this creamy chicken pasta so delicious.

Creamy Chicken Pasta Ingredients
spaghetti – I used spaghetti. But I've made this pasta with many different shapes of pasta, like bowtie, fettuccine, penne, and rigatoni.
chicken – You can use whole chicken breasts, season them, fry them and shred them and add them to your pasta. Sliced chicken breasts are the easy option.
vegetable – I used mushrooms and peppers. You can use corn, peas, broccoli, cauliflower.
garlic – The most important seasoning in pasta is garlic. Add a good amount of chopped garlic for extra flavour.
milk – To make the creamy sauce, I used whole milk. You can use any plant milk or nut milk instead of cow's milk.
Parmesan cheese – The Parmesan cheese emulsifies with the milk and starch in the pasta, creating a creamy sauce.
Butter or olive oil – I used both in this pasta dish. For a vegetarian option, use olive oil instead of butter. You can also use vegan butter.

6) In the same pan, add some butter. I used garlic herb flavored butter. But you can use regular butter. I also added 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent the butter from burning.
7) Add chopped onions or shallots. Sauté onions in butter for 1 minute, until onions begin to soften.
8) Add minced garlic and stir-fry for 1 minute until garlic is fragrant.
9) Then add the chopped green peppers and mushrooms. You can add any vegetables of your choice like baby corn, corn, carrots, green beans.
