Deliciously Unique Classic Chicken Pot Pie Pasta

What makes this recipe stand out is its combination of cozy, familiar flavors and wonderful convenience. All the goodness of pot pie—succulent chicken, peas, carrots, onions, and a luxurious sauce—gets tossed with pasta instead of being baked into a pie shell. This streamlines prep and eliminates the need for pastry, but you still get that soul-satisfying, creamy pot pie flavor in every bite.

Preparing the Creamy Sauce

Start by sautéing onion, celery, and carrots until tender. A bit of garlic adds depth. Sprinkle in some flour to create a roux, then slowly whisk in chicken broth and milk for that rich, creamy consistency. Fold in shredded cooked chicken and tender vegetables, simmering until the sauce thickens and everything melds together into a delicious coating for your noodles.

Assembling Your Classic Chicken Pot Pie Pasta

Once your pasta is al dente and drained, fold it into the creamy sauce. Add frozen peas for a burst of sweetness and color, then finish with a handful of chopped parsley. If you like, top everything with a sprinkle of grated cheese or crushed buttery crackers for a nod to the original pot pie’s signature topping. Serve hot and watch it quickly disappear!
