Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook 2 minutes less than package directions. Drain and reserve 1 cup of pasta water; do not rinse.
In the same pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced onion and celery; cook 4–5 minutes until soft. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute more, being careful not to let it burn.
Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir well. Cook 1–2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste. Slowly whisk in chicken broth, cream, and milk until smooth. Simmer 3–4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Stir in dried thyme and sage. Add frozen peas, carrots, and corn. Cook 2–3 minutes until vegetables are heated through.
Add shredded chicken and cooked pasta to the sauce. Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated. Add a bit of reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick. Stir in parmesan cheese until melted.
Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Remove from heat when the sauce reaches desired thickness. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately while hot and creamy.
