Pasta with Chicken, Tomato and Mushrooms

I am absolutely crazy about pasta dishes. I love the versatility, flavors, ingredients and the effortlessness that goes into creating a great dish that you can serve any time of day.  The best thing about a pasta dish is that it is so easy! Cooking for a family every night, I vow to only use the easiest and quickest recipes. Pasta dishes are “one pot wonders” I always say. Ok, so you technically need two pots, one for the pasta and one for the sauce, but in 8 minutes you get a beautifully pot of cooked pasta! It takes me longer to brush my teeth!!

So here we go, the possibilities are endless.  There are hundreds of combinations for great pasta sauces.  I am keeping it simple – ingredients that are easy to get, and most of all in a normal housewife’s pantry. Enjoy!
