    Awesome dish! So filling with so many flavours and it was a hit with people aged 16 months to 60+ years. Catered for the whole family!

  7. Margaret

    Delicious!! I made yesterday arvo, with a clingy 8 month old between my feet. She loves it, a heard of teenagers loved it, hubby loves it, and the leftovers today are pretty great. Because I was trying to rush, I didn’t accurately measure anything, I added 500g of pasta instead of 2 cups, so I added more water, this worked, but next time I’d also add more cheese to the original bowl to make it more “bake” even with all the extra pasta.

    Scrumptious! This is now a family favourite. I’ll even be making this when we go camping.

    I made this last week. What can I say…. it was absolutely delicious. So much flavour.
    I didn’t add the spinach and I only used one onion, that was still plenty for us (husband and myself).
    I used macaroni pasta. I felt bigger pasta would overtake the bulk of the dish as husband is not a huge pasta lover. Well anyway he talked about it for days , he loved it.
    This dish will now be made repeatedly. 🙂

    I made this today in Carona lockdown and it was great. I didnt have fresh cream so I added a tin of coconut cream and a bit of cream cheese (as I was all out of cheese too!) by the time it was cooked I had pooped out to the shops to get some cheese to put on top and put it under the grill and it was delicious. I didnt measure the ingredients, so I probably added more fluid, but I topped it up with more pasta part way through cooking and then popped it under the grill for 10 mins with the cheese on top and it was fantastic and filling!! with plenty left over for dinner tomorrow night – bonus! I will definitely make this one of my staples!! Thank you!!

    Was looking for a Winter tummy warmer for the family and felt like chicken and pasta. Typed those 2 ingredients in and this popped up. The other reviews looked good so thought I would try it. Turns out it was just as amazing as the others had commented it was! So beautifully creamy and cooked to perfection! Perfect combination of ingredients, so yum – the whole family loved it. Thank you! Have added it to my favourites!

    Made this tonight . Absolutely loved it . Was concerned the past wouldn’t cook properly or would taste starchy …nope …just lovely ?
    Served it with a salad to cut through the richness of the cream . Just lovely ?

    Can you do this without the chicken??

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central

      I don’t see any reason why you couldn’t leave the chicken out if you want to Kristie 🙂

    This recipe is AMAZING. I didn’t think the pumpkin would be soft because of the size I cut it (wasn’t too big though), but it surprised me with how amazing it was.

    Deliciousness and creamy one pot meal.
    I followed recipe except put 1 cup extra pumpkin and small head of broccoli ( wanted to use up).
    Made 6 good size meals. Added some garlic bread to each serve, freezer ready for hubbies work meals away in the caravan.
    Thank you Kim Blake this is a keeper.
