TikTok‘s ‘Marry Me Pasta‘ Lives Up to the Hype, Even for Beginner Cooks
A viral TikTok recipe for creamy chicken breast pasta is proving to be more than just a social media trend, offering a surprisingly simple and satisfying meal even for those new to the kitchen. The recipe, dubbed “Marry Me pasta” by its creator, has amassed millions of views and inspired countless home cooks to try their hand at the dish.
The appeal lies in its ease and minimal ingredient list – a welcome relief for busy weeknights or those seeking a budget-friendly option. While variations abound, the core recipe involves cooking chicken breasts and pasta together in a creamy tomato sauce, resulting in a flavorful and comforting meal.One home cook recently tested the recipe, finding it a learning experience with timing in a CrockPot slow cooker, but ultimately “satisfying” and achievable for beginners.
The recipe calls for combining chicken breasts, a block of cream cheese, pasta, and a jar of marinara sauce in a slow cooker or pot. After cooking, the chicken is shredded directly in the sauce, creating a creamy, flavorful pasta dish. The tester noted the potential for customization, suggesting additions like chili flakes for a spicy kick.
The original creator’s intention was to share a recipe so tasty it would inspire a marriage proposal, hence the name. While the romantic outcome remains unconfirmed for most, the pasta’s popularity continues to grow, fueled by positive reviews and its accessibility.
