Creamy Tuscan Chicken Pasta with Collagen

When the weather cools down, nothing beats a big skillet of creamy pasta especially when it's secretly packed with protein. This Creamy Tuscan Chicken Pasta is rich, comforting, and weeknight-easy, and I love that it sneaks in a scoop of Vitauthority Bone Broth Collagen.

The collagen blends right into the sauce (no taste or texture!) while adding a boost of protein and nutrients to keep everyone full and fueled. It's cozy, it's creamy, and it tastes like something you'd get at a restaurant - minus the effort.

What is Collagen and Why Add It to Pasta?

Collagen is a protein naturally found in our skin, hair, nails, and joints and it tends to decline as we age. Adding a scoop of collagen powder to creamy sauces is one of the easiest ways to incorporate it into your routine.

It dissolves seamlessly, is flavorless, and gives this Tuscan pasta a nourishing boost without altering the taste. Win-win!

Ingredients You'll Need

• Boneless skinless chicken breasts

• Pasta of choice (penne, rigatoni, or fettuccine)

• Olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning

• Sun-dried tomatoes

• Chicken broth

• Heavy cream or half-and-half

• Fresh spinach

• Parmesan cheese

• Unflavored collagen powder

How to Make Creamy Tuscan Chicken Pasta

1. Cook the pasta: Boil in salted water until al dente, then drain.

2. Sear the chicken: Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Pan-sear until golden and cooked through. Slice.

3. Make the sauce: Sauté garlic and sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil. Add chicken broth, cream, Parmesan, and a scoop of collagen powder. Stir until smooth.

4. Combine: Add spinach to the sauce to wilt, then return pasta and chicken to the pan. Toss until everything is coated in creamy sauce.

5. Serve: Top with extra Parmesan and cracked black pepper.

Tips for Success

• Reserve a splash of pasta water to loosen the sauce if needed

• Add red pepper flakes for a subtle kick

• Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days

This Creamy Tuscan Chicken Pasta is the ultimate feel-good dinner that is rich, cozy, and nourishing. It's proof that you don't have to choose between comfort food and wellness. With the collagen boost, it's a fall pasta you'll want on repeat all season long.
