This is a super simple pasta with a creamy and silky texture loaded with veggies and chicken,White sauce and the filling is made in a single pan then mix it with cooked pasta.It’s finger licking good!
Pastas are front-runner among the kids and same here!Kashif(my son )before going to school demanded me to make pasta for lunch and not rice today.So I have no other options,it’s an easy task for me too!Hehe! Here i created a quick and easy version of pasta which is perfect for a lazy day!If you don’t want to add chicken skip it and stick on to veggies.Here i added leftover chicken.
The best way to make your kids have their veggies is through their favorite meal.But you have to chop it very finely so they cant feel them. Over to recipe
