    • 12 oz pasta (such as rotini, penne, or fusilli)
    • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 1 medium onion, chopped
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
    • 1 cup frozen peas
    • 1 cup carrots, diced
    • 1/2 cup celery, diced
    • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
    • 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
    • 1/2 cup heavy cream
    • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
    • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
    • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
    Directions:
    1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
