Why this one-pot pasta actually works

This dish succeeds because it leans into how the appliance heats, rather than fighting it. Cooking everything together creates a true one pot chicken pasta Ninja experience, where the starch from the pasta helps build the sauce instead of watering it down.

If you want a lighter version of this easy Ninja Possible Cooker Pro pasta, you can use 10% cream instead of half and half, though the sauce will be slightly looser after resting. Extra heat lovers can bump up the red pepper flakes or finish with chili oil.
