This was the best thing we ate last weekend.  This is my favorite dish at Carrabba’s.  I found the recipe online and knew I had to make it at home.  This was so good. The chicken smelled amazing on the grill, and the pasta sauce was fantastic!   It was light and fresh.  We both absolutely loved it.  We want to make it again this weekend.

I did make a few changes to the original recipe.  I used a can of San Marzano tomatoes and pulsed them in the food processor to crush them.  This recipe has lots of garlic, but don’t worry.  The flavor is actually pretty mellow since you slow cook it in the olive oil.  I used angel hair pasta because that is what I had on hand, but any pasta will work.  Give this a try on your next pasta night.  It is quick, easy and delicious!

  1. Sounds excellent even if I don't know how to say it! Bookmarked to try very soon. The grilled chicken sounds great on it's own.

    (This reminded me of Piccachu (sp?) that little yellow Pokeman)

  2. I can't wait to try this pasta and chicken on Friday night…I have a house full coming in for Saturday's game and this will be perfect to serve. I love Carrabba's Chicken Marsala too!!!
