Chicken Peas Pasta with Nonna’s Sauce

 This fabulous recipe for chicken peas pasta with Nonna’s sauce is from my dear friend Regina. She got it from her Nonna and serves this favorite meal to her family with an authentic vodka sauce from her Nonna. It’s now my family’s favorite too.  

 

A Note from Regina: For my family of 4 Nonna’s A La Vodka Sauce makes enough for a second meal.

 

 To make it a little different so I don’t hear “This again?” from the kids I add another protein, such as shrimp or chicken and peas.

 

 It is a lifesaver on a busy day to have something homemade that is quick and easy to make.

 

This dish and the sauce is great for a potluck dinner. Everyone who has had this adores the sauce and whole chicken and peas dinner. 

 

Thank you again Regina, your recipes are so delicious and I appreciate you sharing them with us. xo
