An easy weeknight comfort-food recipe that is on the table in minutes! It cooks so quickly it won't heat up the kitchen in summer. I've used chicken, and tuna at times, but salmon, beef or pork would work also. Various forms of pasta will work well too - rotini, penne, etc. The recipe lends well to adapting to a reduced calorie/fat version by using nonfat or lowfat milk and reduced fat cheese.
Ингредиенты
- 8 ounces small shell or elbow macaroni
- 4 cups torn fresh spinach
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
- 1 teaspoon dried minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon chicken-flavored bouillon base
- Dash pepper (or crushed red pepper flakes)
- 1 cup milk (may use part half-and-half)
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 12 ounces cooked chicken, chopped (rotisserie leftovers work well)
- 1/3 cup shredded sharp shedder cheese
Инструкции
- Cook macaroni according to package directions to al dente stage; drain well and set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a large saucepan combine spinach, water, garlic, pepper and bouillon base. Cook covered over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Do not drain.

- Cook and stir till slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
