Here is a photo of all the ingredients I used for this recipe.

The sauce looked like this after I was done cooking all the ingredients.

I added the GF Chickpea pasta to the sauce, and on low heat, I stirred the pasta for a few minutes. Then turned off the heat.

Here is the pasta stirred into the sauce. The Chickpea GF pasta stayed together. If you want to add more creaminess, add a tablespoon of olive oil spread.

Here is the after photo of one serving of the quick chicken pasta dish.
