Ingredients
  

Pasta
  • 12 oz Fettuccine or pasta of choice
Chicken
  • 2 cups Cooked Chicken Breast shredded or diced
Vegetables
  • 4 cups Fresh Spinach washed and chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
Sauce
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Salt to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper to taste

Method
 

Cook the Pasta
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the Sauce
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  2. Add the cooked chicken and spinach to the skillet. Cook until the spinach wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Combine and Serve
  1. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat in the creamy sauce. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan if desired.
