Generally pasta dishes are quick, easy and delicious. When I saw this dish for chicken florentine pasta, I knew we had to try it. Unfortunately, I didn't have a lot of the ingredients that this recipe called for hence the name "florentine-ish"
Ingredients:olive oil
1/2 cup diced white onion
3 cloves diced garlic
1 bag baby spinach
1 boneless skinless chicken breast*
S&P
~2 cups uncooked pasta of your choice
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese*
1/2 cup mushrooms
The How To:
Preheat oven to 405
Line a baking dish with foil (for easy clean up)
Add chicken and season with olive oil and S&P
Cook for 45 minutes
In the meantime, go ahead and dice your onion and garlic
And cook your pasta according to package directions
Cut chicken into bite sized chunks
In a sauce pot, heat some olive oil and add onion and cook until tender (about 5 minutes)
Heat oven to 350, and spray olive oil in a large baking dish
Add garlic and mushrooms and cook for about 3 more minutes
Add spinach and cook until wilted (about 3 more minutes)
Add chicken and let it cook for another couple of minutes
Add pasta into chicken mixture and place in baking dish
Top with cheese
Cook for about 20 minutes, until cheese melts
I put a little too much pasta and not enough sauce in this dish. It still had a really good flavor, but next time I'd lay off the pasta. This dish was Will approved and three-quarters...
