As a busy family we love finding easy family meal options that are quick to prepare, nutritious and full of flavour that we can all enjoy in the evening without having to always resort to our slow cooker or Instant Pot. In the past we’ve used HelloFresh, delivering us all we need to cook family meals in one handy box each week. One of the things that I’ve always appreciated with HelloFresh is the ability to keep the family dinner recipes after we’d made them from the box, creating them again at a later date. HelloFresh also have a bank of healthy dinner recipes on their website and we’ve created a favourite chicken pasta recipe based on the HelloFresh Venetian Pasta recipe from their website.

A Family Favourite Chicken Pasta Recipe

As a family we love pasta and eat it every week without fail. It’s so quick and easy to cook and as the children love pasta it means that dinner times can be stress free and enjoyable. Plus, when you find a meal that everyone loves you know you can eat it regularly and still always enjoy it as much as the very first time. But often we find ourselves stuck in a pasta rut – having it with a simple sauce or turned into a pasta bake. Other times we fall back to old favourites like spaghetti bolognese or tagliatelle and meatballs so it’s lovely to have other pasta recipes that you know the whole family will enjoy.

Here’s our easy chicken pasta recipe.

We also like to serve this al forno. I simply put the finished dish in an oven dish, sprinkle with cheese and bake until nicely browned and bubbling on top.
