Oh Mondays, who else gets the Sunday blues heading into a new week? Ugh the worst. Anyway, I’m back with another super easy pasta recipe to start off your week. This bowtie pasta recipe has all of the ingredients you would want in a pasta dish. The sauce…man oh man it’s pure perfection. It’s not too thick and clumpy and not too thin or watery. I used heavy cream as I pretty much do in a lot of my cream based pasta dishes. The cream, freshly grated parmesan and lemon come together perfectly to create a mouthwatering sauce that will have you wanting to lick your plate!

This Creamy Chicken Bowtie Pasta is super simple to make. All you really have to do is season and sear your chicken, cook your pasta, and build your sauce with fresh spinach and herbs, grated lemon zest and freshly grated parmesan cheese and boom you’re pretty much finished!
