SPINACH FLORENTINE PASTA RECIPES

Steps:

• Cook the pasta according to package directions in lightly salted water. Drain and set aside.
• Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the butter and olive oil over high heat in a large skillet. Add the chicken chunks in a single layer and do not stir for a minute or two in order to allow the chicken to brown on the first side. Flip the chicken and brown on the other side. Cook until done, and then remove the chicken from the skillet.
• Turn the heat to medium. Add the garlic and quickly stir to avoid burning. After about 30 seconds, pour in the broth and wine, stirring to deglaze the skillet. Allow the liquid to bubble up, and then continue cooking until it's reduced by at least half (most of the surface of the liquid should be bubbling at this point).
• Turn off the heat. Add the spinach, tomatoes, chicken, cooked pasta and Parmesan shavings to the skillet. Toss to combine; the spinach will wilt as you toss everything.
• Add more Parmesan shavings and serve immediately! Serve with extra Parmesan shavings.

Steps:

• Add the pasta to a large pot of boiling water. Cook according to the directions, until the pasta is al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water then drain the pasta.
• Melt the butter in the large pot then add the garlic. Cook for 1 minute then add the cooked pasta and spinach to the pot.
• Stir together then add in some of the reserved pasta water. I usually use 1/2 cup.
• Stir in the Parmesan cheese and add salt and black pepper.
