Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta just until al dente, then drain and set aside.
2. While the pasta cooks, melt butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté 5–7 minutes, until softened. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
3. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir for 1–2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
4. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook until the sauce thickens, about 4–5 minutes. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper.
5. Stir in the cooked chicken and frozen peas. Simmer until the chicken is warmed through and peas are bright green, about 2 minutes.
6. Add the cooked pasta, tossing until evenly coated with the sauce. Adjust seasoning as desired.
7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or chives. Top with crushed crackers or cheese if desired.
