Macaroni and ground chicken with roasted garlic pasta sauce

This Macaroni and Ground Chicken with Roasted Garlic Pasta Sauce is a quick and easy meal that can be on your dinner table in under 30 minutes! It’s a great weeknight meal option that the whole family will love. And if you’re looking for a way to use up some leftover chicken, this is a great recipe for that too.

The key to this dish is in the roasted garlic pasta sauce. Roasting the garlic really brings out its sweetness and pairs so well with the ground chicken. If you don’t have any roasted garlic on hand, you can easily roast some garlic in the oven while the pasta is cooking. Just cut off the top of a head of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, and bake in a 400 degree oven for about 15-20 minutes. Once the garlic is roasted, simply squeeze the roasted cloves into the pasta sauce.

This dish can easily be customized to your liking. If you’re not a fan of ground chicken, you can substitute it with ground beef or turkey. And if you’re looking for a little more flavor, you can add in some red pepper flakes or Parmesan cheese
