Chicken Tomato Zucchini Pasta. Delicious, healthy, savoury and totally comforting. This quick 30 minute pasta is a great meal for dinner or lunch.
I love this chicken and courgette tomato pasta. If you didn't know, zucchinis are one of my all time favourite vegetable. I love it's neutral taste and the texture of them. But when it's combined with marinara sauce, tomatoes and fresh basil with some meaty chicken and pasta - oh my goodness! It's a combination from the food heavens.
This dish is great for leftovers too or for meals to bring to the office! When someone walks by the smell of this meal as you're microwaving it at work, they'll probably ask, "What smells so good?" And you can proudly say it's your lunch!
This is a very healthy meal as it's loaded with lots of zucchini, tomatoes and fresh basil! You can even add more veggies as you wish.
