An easy, delicious pasta with chicken, sun-dried tomatoes and aged hard havarti – inspired by Marry Me chicken.
Aged havarti works beautifully in pasta dishes – it melts into something wonderfully creamy and has real depth of flavour.
This pasta with havarti and sun-dried tomatoes is a dish packed with flavour. The cream and havarti give the sauce plenty of body – soft and creamy, with the sun-dried tomatoes, garlic and fresh basil shining through.
I love making pasta dishes, and I’m a complete sucker for a creamy sauce 😉 This is one you simply have to try – it tastes so good.
Serve it with your favourite pasta and extra havarti on top.
