Creamy Farfalle with Chicken and Zucchini
When you plan dinner but your daughter reminds you that we had that a few weeks ago (and we can't repeat dishes so soon in our house) so you change your dinner, and this happens.
We loved this. It's simple, it's easy and it's tasty, what more could you want for a midweek meal.
I chose farfalle, but you could use penne or casarecce, whatever you like really.
You could make it vegetarian by taking out the chicken, it would still be lovely.
Here is something we loved, hope you do to.
