I just love it when I can come up with an easy recipe! This Easy Chicken and Shrimp Pasta recipe is definitely one of the easiest I have made in a while! It comes together within 30 minutes and has you going back for seconds.
Tender chicken and baby shrimp, over penne pasta, covered in a spicy white wine sauce will have your family and friends thinking you toiled away in the kitchen for hours. I would even go so far as to say that this recipe is date night worthy.

Ingredients:
- ½ box (8 oz.) Penne pasta
