Sometimes you just want a big bowl of comfort and when it comes to comfort food, my go to is always pasta. It’s so versatile and can be transformed into anything you can imagine. I keep a lot of different varieties of pasta in my pantry, so that way when I’m trying to figure out what to come up with for dinner I just grab which ever one I think will go best with it. When it comes to thick and creamy sauces, something like Rigatoni will be able to grab a hold of it and compliment it perfectly, and that’s why I went with that for this creamy chicken marsala mushroom pasta.

I’m a big fan of mushrooms! They’re meaty and earthy and bring such a great flavor to anything you use them with. Sweet red onions and mushrooms are probably one of my favorite flavor combinations! I use them together on anything from steak and pork, to chicken and pasta.

I love adding a touch of cream and parmesan cheese into the marsala wine in this dish to make a more decadent and satisfying sauce. I really love the flavor of marsala wine and I use it in recipes quite a bit! You can see my super scrumptious pork marsala recipe here, and my simple traditional chicken marsala recipe here.

I hope you love this recipe as much as I do. You can check out all my other pasta recipes too while you’re here. 🙂
