Recipe Tips For Success
- Don’t Overcook Your Pasta. I like to undercook my pasta about a minute less than recommended on the box.
- Roast The Tomatoes. Don’t skip roasting the tomatoes, it brings such a punch of flavor when the tomatoes are roasted.
- Add Different Protein. Play around with different protein for your pasta. Sliced steak is also delicious.

Serve this chicken spaghetti warm on individual serving plates or bowls. Garlic bread is always a nice side along with a chopped green salad.
