Chicken and mushroom pasta in rose sauce is a creamy and delicious pasta dish that combines juicy chicken and tender mushrooms with a rich and tangy tomato-based sauce. The sauce gets its distinctive pink color from a blend of tomato sauce, cream, and Parmesan cheese. The dish is typically made by cooking the chicken and mushrooms in a skillet, then adding the rose sauce and cooking the pasta separately.

Once the pasta is cooked, it is added to the skillet along with some of the cooking water, and the dish is finished with a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley. This dish is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a comforting dinner on a chilly evening.
