Chicken and Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta Recipe

If you love pasta and love quick and easy recipes even more, then this is going to become your go-to recipe for weeknight dinners.

I used to make this pasta often when I lived in Singapore and even though we enjoyed eating this delicious dish, I stopped making it over the years. Until today! Now, I'm going to make it part of my monthly pasta rotation.


I know you will love this simple and tasty pasta dish as much as I do!

Tips and Bits

You can omit the chicken if you want to keep this vegetarian.


Mushrooms, asparagus and fresh baby spinach leaves are all good vegetable additions.


Cut chicken into small cubes so it cooks faster.
