This quick and easy 15 minute chicken spinach pasta is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. Made with just a few simple ingredients. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 500g (1.1 lbs) chicken breast
- salt
- 600g (1.3 lbs) baby spinach
- 3 tbsp (45 ml) olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic
- 500g (1.1 lbs) packet of rigatoni
- 100g (3.5 oz) Parmesan cheese
Directions
Place a large pot of water on to boil with a big pinch of salt.
- While the pasta water is coming to a boil, slice your chicken breasts.
- Once the water is boiling, add the baby spinach and cook for 45 seconds, then plunge it straight into ice-cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Replace the water used for blanching the spinach with fresh water, season with salt again, and place a lid on it to bring it to a boil faster.
- Place a large sauté pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. While that is heating, finely grate the cloves of garlic.
- Add the rigatoni to the boiling water and cook for about 10 minutes, checking for doneness after 8 minutes.
- Add the chicken to the sauté pan, season with salt, and fry for 6-7 minutes until cooked through.
- While the chicken is sautéing, place the cooked spinach, 80g (2.8 oz) of Parmesan, and half of the grated garlic in a blender. Blend until a smooth purée.
- Add the remaining grated garlic to the chicken in the pan and mix through.
- Add the spinach sauce to the chicken and stir well. Check the seasoning and adjust with salt if needed.
- Drain the pasta and stir it through the spinach and chicken sauce.
- Serve, grating the remaining Parmesan over the top as a garnish.
