5-Ingredient Chicken Mozzarella Pasta is a quick, easy and lightened up pasta recipe with chicken, fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and truRoots Ancient Grain Pasta.
Is there any meal more comforting than pasta?
Growing up, my dad would host a pasta night every Sunday in which we’d always have the same meal: mostaccioli with marinara sauce, garlic bread and a Caesar salad.
Now I no longer have a metabolism the speed of lightning, but I just can’t give up those comforting pasta dishes I have always loved.
So, I challenged myself to come up with a lighter pasta recipe, and since I discovered this dish I’ve been making it at least once a month since!
This 5-Ingredient Chicken Mozzarella Pasta is a super simple and lighter pasta recipe that uses truRoots Ancient Grain Spaghetti for a gluten-free meal.
truRoots pasta is made from a unique blend of quality ingredients, but it doesn’t taste much different from regular white or wheat pasta. It’s completely gluten-free, so if you’re sensitive to gluten your tummy will love this brand.
I absolutely love fresh mozzarella, which is part of the reason why this is my favorite pasta recipe. It’s like a caprese salad, but in pasta form!
There are just 5 ingredients you need to make 5-Ingredient Chicken Mozzarella Pasta (I don’t count seasoning or olive oil because you probably always have those on hand!).
The sauce is made of a simple combination of olive oil, cherry tomatoes, fresh basil and Italian seasonings, so there isn’t any added sugar or salt that you often find in store-bought sauces.
This 5-Ingredient Chicken Mozzarella Pasta recipe is as easy as cooking the chicken and the tomatoes … then just throw together the cooked pasta, mozzarella and fresh basil and dinner is served!
The tomatoes cook down to form a delicious sauce, and the mozzarella cheese gets nice and melty.
5-Ingredient Chicken Mozzarella Pasta is a delicious yet simple dinner idea that’s perfect for weeknights when you don’t have time or effort to cook.
If you’re like me and crave a comforting pasta recipe, give this lightened up version with truRoots Ancient Grain Spaghetti a try!
