Chicken Spaghetti

A delicious spaghetti recipe made with homemade tomato sauce and chicken. Made in under an hour, this dinner is easy to make meal perfect for busy weekdays. An absolute lifesaver for those days when you have nothing to make.

Healthy, hearty, and packed with flavour, this pasta recipe is just too good to be true. Made with strands of spaghetti coated with delicious marinara sauce and chunks of salt and pepper chicken.

My daughter loves spaghetti, and this is one of her favourite recipes yet. This and my honey BBQ chicken wings. I know that even if I gave her those two food items every day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner still she would never get fed up.

I like to use spaghetti in this recipe. The tomato sauce coats the strands of pasta really well. You could use any pasta you like, such as fusilli pasta. I have a chicken pasta recipe that uses fusilli pasta.

I season the chicken with a dash of salt and black pepper. Simplicity is sometimes best, and I can guarantee you that this chicken spaghetti pasta recipe is delicious. You can spice it up with a few chilli flakes if you want to, but it really doesn’t need it and trust me I’m the first person to spice up my dishes.

I always make my pasta sauce fresh. The recipe is like my pizza sauce with a few additions. However, if you are short on time then you can use store-bought pasta sauce.

Fresh is always best though! Most of my sauces are good to freeze for at least a month, so prepare them beforehand and just take them out of the freezer when you want to use them!
