A quick and delicious way to make a rich, creamy chicken and paprika sauce to accompany Spaghetti Wow.

Spaghetti Wow with Creamy Chicken and Paprika Sauce is a quick, satisfying meal that combines perfect pasta texture with a rich sauce. In this recipe, we transform regular spaghetti into a gourmet dish using a creamy paprika sauce that offers a beautiful pink color and a light smoky flavor. The secret to a successful Chicken Spaghetti Wow lies in browning the chicken well to give deep flavor to the sauce, then slowly adding the cream for a velvety texture that coats every strand. This mix is perfect for those seeking a quick meal that requires little effort while delivering an irresistible taste.

Ingredients

  • 400 g Spaghetti Wow (1 pack)
  • 400 g Diced chicken breasts (about 2 large breasts)
  • 250 ml Cooking cream (about 1 cup)
  • 1 tbsp Smoked paprika
  • 3 cloves Minced garlic
  • 30 g Butter (2 tbsp)
  • 1 tsp Salt and black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1
    Boil Spaghetti Wow in salted water according to the instructions on the package, then drain and set aside a small cup of the pasta water.
  2. 2
    In a large skillet, melt the butter and add the diced chicken breasts, stirring until they turn golden brown.
  3. 3
    Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over the chicken and stir for a minute until the spices release their aroma.
  4. 4
    Pour the cooking cream over the mixture; if the consistency is too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water.
  5. 5
    Let the sauce simmer for two minutes until it thickens, then add the boiled Spaghetti Wow to the skillet.
  6. 6
    Toss the pasta well with the mixture until it is completely coated in the creamy paprika sauce, and serve hot.
