Creamy Pasta

“Creamy” Chicken Pasta”

Lately I have been craving pasta- and I mean the heavy cream rich fatty kind of pasta! So, I decided to try and make a “creamy” pasta without the cream! This healthified pasta uses NO cream and Quinoa Pasta instead of regular pasta. It fixed my craving right up!
