Looking for a great creamy pasta dish using spaghetti?
Here is a family favorite and a must-try from my friend, Brandie, The Country Cook – THE BEST CREAMY, CHEESY CHICKEN SPAGHETTI. “This easy Creamy, Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti recipe calls for chicken, spaghetti, cream of chicken, salsa, sour cream and cheese. No Rotel.”
Creamy Garlic Penne Pasta
- 1 pound box of Penne Pasta (cooked according to directions on box)
- 1/4 cup salted butter
- 5-6 cloves of garlic, minced
- 4 tablespoons flour
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 4 teaspoons parsley flakes
- 2/3 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
- Great as a main or side dish.
- Serve along side or toss with precooked veggies (broccoli is terrific), chicken or seafood (shrimp and pan-seared scallops).

This was good. I added some red pepper flakes to give it a little spice.
Just made this! it’s so good! it takes awhile to thicken though. I added less flour to have more of a creamy sauce and it worked for me!!
