Chicken meatballs with pasta in creamy sauce with green peas is a tender, aromatic dish embodying the coziness of Italian cuisine. The recipe's origins stem from traditional pasta with cheese-based sauce, but the addition of chicken meatballs makes it heartier and richer. The slight tartness of green apple in the filling gives the meatballs a special juiciness, while the creamy sauce enriched with melted cheese gently envelops the pasta, creating a harmony of flavors. Green peas add freshness and lightness. This dish is perfect for a family dinner, creating an atmosphere of home warmth and gastronomic pleasure.
