“One of my favorites! Can’t remember where I got this recipe, but I make it often. You can also double the amounts and freeze the leftovers. I enjoy it because it’s tasty enough—and thick enough—to eat even without the pasta!” Pamela Ziemer - Hutchinson, MN
Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups uncooked medium pasta shells
1 medium onion, chopped
1 large portobello mushroom, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 tablespoon king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup fat-free milk
1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
2-1/2 cups cubed cooked chicken breast
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
6 tablespoons shredded parmesan cheese, divided
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, saute the onion, mushroom and garlic in oil until tender. Stir in flour until blended; gradually add milk and broth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
2. Add the chicken, spinach, 3 tablespoons cheese, lemon juice, pepper and pepper flakes; heat through.
3. Drain pasta; toss with chicken mixture. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Yield: 4 servings.
