Made it tonight and it was delicious! My husband joked that it had a lot more flavor than most of my cooking so it had to have been delivered. LOL! He's on thin ice! 

Thank you for the recipe, it will be added as a favorite into our meal rotation.

Good tasty recipe. A bit dry for my own taste: will add more wine when combining 😁. As others have commented a touch of vegetables would really give it a humph: my choice would be cut green asparagus.

Unbelievably delicious! Easy to make and mouthwatering. You gotta try it will be your favourite shrimp pasta!

Had this tonight and the flavor was wonderful. However, I had trouble with my Parmesan clumping as others did. I didn’t find a solution in the comments. Any ideas?

This is very yummy! I accidentally poured some red wine, instead of white wine in the pan (and then a little rose as I found I didn't have white)...but it was still delicious! I omitted the red pepper flakes on account of my elderly mother who can't stand a speck of heat, otherwise I would have tried that as well. I would definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing!

So yummy... I didn’t have any wine so I used a bit more lemon...mmmmm.

Excellent tasting and easy to cook, even for my 11 year old daughter.

this was delicious! I used a whole pound of pasta and it still came out great, and I added a little pasta water to the sauce! fantastic and so easy!

Easy to make, but did anyone have trouble with the cheese clumping? I couldn’t get it to smooth out even by adding extra butter or oil.

Simple and easy to make.  I enjoyed it and was surprised that it was not too high in the calorie department.  My only recommendation is using unsalted butter.  It gives you more control of your seasoning and flavor profile.

Low Carb Zuppa Toscana Soup

Are you an absolute sucker for Olive Garden’s soup, salad, and breadsticks? Well, I fully admit that it’s my favorite thing about this popular Italian chain. Unlimited bowls of delicious soup with soft breadsticks and delicious, fresh crunchy salad? You can’t go wrong. My go-to favorite soup to order has always been the Pasta Fagioli, so I like to have a copycat Pasta Fagioli recipe in my back pocket whenever I have a soup craving and I can't make it to the restaurant chain!

How to Make It:

Heat a large dutch oven or a stockpot over medium heat.
Add in the ground beef, onion, minced garlic, carrots, and celery, seasoned with salt and pepper, and cook until no longer pink (about 5 minutes). Drain the grease into a can.
Add in the kidney beans, white beans, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, oregano, and thyme leaves into the pot. Stir to combine.
Once the liquid starts to boil, add in the pasta.
Reduce the heat and cook for 10 minutes, or until the pasta is done.
Serve with chopped parsley and grated parmesan, if desired.

30 Minute Tuscan Chicken Pasta with healthy creamy garlic sauce, sun dried tomatoes, spinach and chicken. Kid friendly one pot meal for busy weeknights.

Healthy Tuscan Chicken Pasta (One Pot)

lb boneless & skinless chicken breasts or thighs

broth

pasta

red bell pepper (diced)

tbsp oil (for frying)

Italian seasoning

sun dried tomatoes (chopped)

spinach

milk

cornstarch

Parmesan cheese (grated)

garlic (grated)

salt (divided)

black pepper (to taste)

Preheat large Dutch oven or heavy bottom pot on medium heat and swirl oil to coat.

Add chicken and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt and ground black pepper. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side.

Add broth, pasta, bell pepper, Italian seasoning and remaining 1/4 tsp salt. Gently stir, cover and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to medium and cook for 10 minutes, stirring once after 2 minutes to prevent pasta from sticking. Keep in mind gluten free pasta cooks faster than wheat. Pasta should be al dente (not too soft, so it doesn’t become a mush).

Remove chicken onto a plate or cutting board.

In a large measuring cup whisk cold milk with cornstarch and pour over pasta. Stir gently, bring to a boil and simmer for a minute until sauce thickens a bit.

Turn off heat and add sun dried tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, spinach and garlic. Cover for a few minutes to let flavors develop.

In the meanwhile, slice chicken into thin pieces.

Add chicken to the pot, stir gently and serve immediately. Tuscan chicken pasta is one of those dishes that tastes best right after cooking. That's when it's most saucy, spinach is not too wilted and it's just fresh.

Instant Pot Olive Garden Italian Dressing Chicken

chicken breasts

Cups Olive Garden Italian salad dressing

Pour one cup of Olive Garden Italian Dressing into the Instant Pot.

Place 2-3 large boneless skinless chicken breasts into the Instant Pot.

Mix remaining 1 cup of Olive Garden Italian Dressing with 1/3 cup of grated parmesan cheese.

Pour dressing/cheese mixture over chicken breasts.

Close lid and move valve to “seal position.”  Turn Instant Pot on.  Select “pressure cooker” setting and cook on high for 10 minutes.

When timer beeps, allow pressure to natural release for 5 minutes and then quick-release remaining pressure.  Remove lid.

Serve with your favorite pasta and vegetables!

Crock Pot Zuppa Toscana

lb ground hot Italian sausage

russet potato (diced)

salt (to taste)

chicken broth ((32 oz))

water (see recipe instructions)

kale (stems removed and torn into bite-sized pieces)

parmesan cheese ((for topping))

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown and crumble hot Italian sausage, about 5-8 minutes. Add onion and garlic and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until some of the onion begins to turn translucent (no need to cook onion completely at this point). Drain grease from skillet.

In a 6 quart crock pot (or bigger), add cooked sausage &amp; veggies plus the diced potato. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour chicken broth on top. There should be enough broth to cover the tops of the potatoes; if there isn&#x27;t, add up to 2 cups water so potatoes are covered.

Gently stir ingredients, cover crock pot, and cook on LOW for 5-6 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours.

Remove lid from crock pot and add kale and heavy whipping cream, then stir to combine.

Cover crock pot and cook on HIGH for another 30 minutes.

Serve zuppa toscana immediately with shredded parmesan cheese as garnish.
