Creating Classic Chicken Pot Pie Pasta is straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Sauté the Chicken: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside.

3. Sauté Vegetables: In the same pot, add chopped onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

4. Add Herbs: Stir in dried thyme and rosemary, allowing the herbs to toast slightly for about a minute.

5. Create the Sauce: Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Allow it to cook for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.

6. Incorporate Cream: Add heavy cream, and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, letting the sauce thicken slightly.

7. Combine Chicken and Veggies: Return the cooked chicken to the pot, and add the frozen peas. Stir everything together.

8. Mix in Pasta: Add the drained pasta to the pot, tossing to coat everything in the creamy sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring everything is hot.

9. Add Cheese: Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined. Check for seasoning and add salt and pepper if needed.

10. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

With just these simple steps, you’ve turned classic flavors into a delicious and comforting meal that the whole family will love!
