CHICKEN FLORENTINE SPAGHETTI, RICHARD IN THE KITCHEN
Chicken Florentine Pasta in a light creamy sauce is an easy 30-minute weeknight meal (it actually doesn't have any cream in it at all!). In case you're wondering what in the world “florentine” means: It's a fancy name for foods that are served with spinach. You can include just about anything you like into this dish.
Italian Pasta Florentine
ITALIAN PASTA FLORENTINE
In a pot, boil water and cook 200 grams of broad egg noodles until done. Drain.
While the noodles are cooking, prepare the sausage and spinach:
1 lb ground italian sausage. If you buy in sausage form, remove skin so you can fry.
Fry italian sausage, (like you would ground beef) and drain excess fat.
Add 2 cloves garlic, minced
Add 1 pkg frozen spinach (about 150 gr cooked spinach), thawed.
Heat through.
Add sausage and spinach to the cooked and drained noodles.
Add 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and mix in.
Serve warm OR cold as a salad and add some chopped cherry tomatoes for a fresh colorful addition.
Chicken Florentine Pasta Recipe
Full Recipe -
Ingredients
300 grams dried pasta (I used fusilli pasta but you can choose any pasta of your choice)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons butter (salted or unsalted)
2 teaspoons minced garlic
¼ cup chopped onions
300 grams boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into ½-inch pieces)
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
¼ teaspoon black pepper powder (or to taste)
¼ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
1 chicken stock cube (or 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder)
2 cups chopped spinach (tightly packed)
½ cup unsweetened heavy cream
200 grams cream cheese (at room temperature)
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
Cook The Pasta
Bring 4-5 cups of water to a boil over high heat.
Once the water comes to a boil, add 1 tablespoon of salt and pasta and stir gently.
Cook on high heat for 6-7 minutes until the pasta is al dente (just cooked). Do not overcook otherwise the pasta dish will become mushy.
Remove the pot from heat and drain the water (reserving 1 cup for the recipe) and toss the pasta with a teaspoon of oil. Set it aside.
Make The Florentine Pasta
White the pasta is cooking, make the sauce.
Heat oil and butter in a pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add garlic and onions and sauté for 2 minutes.
Add chicken breast, paprika, oregano, salt, pepper powder, and sun-dried tomatoes and saute for 6-7 minutes.
Add chicken stock cube and ½ cup of water from boiling the pasta and mix until the cube dissolves.
Now add the cooked pasta, spinach, heavy cream, cream cheese, and mozzarella cheese and mix until combined.
Add some more pasta water (or milk) if the pasta looks dry.
Check for salt and pepper and add more if needed. Serve hot.
Notes
You can easily double or triple the recipe as per your requirements.
This recipe can also be made vegetarian easily. Just Replace chicken with veggies like broccoli, zucchini, mushrooms, etc, and chicken stock with veg stock.
If using frozen spinach, thaw it before use and squeeze out as much moisture as you can.
