This Chicken Pasta with Zucchini has a delicious blend of diced chicken, pasta, cubed zucchini, and sliced mushrooms mixed with Mozzarella and Parmesan cheese blend, green onion, and creamy white egg sauce seasoned with basil, salt, and fresh ground black pepper.
And you can easily swap out the chicken for shrimp or leave it out completely to convert this to a meatless meal.
If you’re not a fan of zucchini, you can also swap it out for broccoli, green beans, or asparagus.

This was delicious! I had somd marked down shredded chicken that I needed to use.I also added some marscapone that I needed to use up as well as an Asiago/parmesan blend. I will definitely add more garlic, but I will be putting this on rotation.

OMG! This is soooo GOOD!!!!! I will be making this again & again! I did use garlic salt, a couple teaspoons of minced garlic and only used 2 teaspoons of basil (I doubled the recipe) and holy cow! It is AMAZING!!!!

Does the pasta need to be cooked first or will it cook while it’s baking? Thanks It’s for dinner tonight. Looks delicious!

Hi Nancy, it should cook while it's baking. Make sure it's all the way submerged. It may need a longer cooking time if it's not quite done enough. Smaller pasta shapes will do the best.
