Happy Savory Wednesday my friends, I am bringing back the tradition of sharing homemade family dinners with you on Wednesday’s with this delicious Ragu Sauce Chicken Pasta recipe. I have been quiet busy for the last few weeks and usually only had time to cook during the weekend, but I have a very good meal to share with you, that is budget friendly and tastes outstanding. I come from a family that loves good food, and we share a lot of memories around certain dishes. As in probably many other families, pasta is a big favorite in mine, especially when made with delicious Ragu Pasta Sauce.

I am going to share with you today a Ragu Sauce Chicken Pasta Recipe that my mom loves to make for us. The story behind this recipe is that my father spent a few years in Italy and when he returned home he brought back with him an endless love for pasta and quality pasta sauce.

My mom put a spin on it and created this very comforting Ragu Sauce Chicken Pasta Recipe that is very comforting and delicious and it also brings back a lot of beautiful memories. This pot of delicious creamy chicken over spaghetti became a tradition in our family and I plan on making it again for Valentine’s Day for my loved ones.

This recipe is perfect for the cold days outside, its warm, hearty and comforting. But you can also make it year around, as its an easy, and flavorful, one pot dinner that your whole family will enjoy. To make it I used Ragu Pasta Sauce, that I appreciate for it’s farm grown ingredients, commitment to high standards, great flavor and affordability.

This Ragu Sauce Chicken Pasta Recipe starts with tender chicken drumsticks browned it lots of garlic and a little cream, covered in a hefty amount of Ragu Pasta Sauce and baked in the oven. This is a one pot meal that you have to try. Served over spaghetti this is the perfect February meal, it will make you feel warm and fuzzy and put a big grin on your face while you ask for seconds.

The sauce is very flavorful, creamy, chunky and delicious and all thanks to the Ragu Pasta Sauce, the meat is tender and almost falls of the bone, served over pasta and topped with a few crumbs of salty feta this is the perfect weeknight meal to feed your family and maybe even start a new tradition.
