Chicken Pasta with Zucchini

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.
