Marry Me Pasta
From the recipe collection of Tara Ippolito
Marry Me pasta is such an incredibly delicious comfort food recipe.
This is a little spin on Marry Me Chicken. That was a recipe you may have seen that was trending about a year ago.
If you haven’t tried that, I absolutely recommend you do. It’s very good!
The sauce on the chicken is just incredible. There are so many delicious flavors in it.
As much as I love a good chicken dish, the sauce was the best part.
So, I decided to make a version where it was the star of the show. This pasta was the perfect choice.
Every time I make it, my family eats the whole thing, and I never have any leftovers.
In my house, that’s a sign of a really good meal.
I hope you give this recipe a try, I know you’ll love it as much as my family and I do.
Fast. Simple. Delicious.

What should I serve with this marry me pasta?
The great thing about most pasta recipes is that they can be served with just about anything.
So feel free to serve this with that ever you’d like.
I personally would love this with some thinly sliced chicken cutlets or classic Italian meatballs.
A grilled skirt steak or marinated chicken would be delicious, too.

Easy to make and delicious! The only difference was I used penne noodles I had on hand. Would definitely make again!

This looks delicious, but I’m not crazy about sun dried tomatoes. Can I leave them out? Should I add more paste?

You can absolutely leave them out
