“It was sooo yummy! The boys...loved the taste and texture of the noodles....and they happily gobbled it all down -- and that spoke volumes!” (Tricia, mother of 2)
Skillet, small and large sauce pots
10 minutes
20 minutes
4-6 or more depending on ages
2 chicken breasts or 4 thighs, cooked (no antibiotics)
Cut into bite sized pieces and set aside.1 1/2 packages (15 ounces) Vita Spelt Wide Spelt Noodles
In large pot, boil water for pasta and begin cooking following package directions. Reserve some of the cooking water.4 oz tub of light Boursin cheese or herbed cream cheese
Place cheese aside in a small pot to be heated just before the rest of the dish is ready.2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4-6 cloves fresh garlic, minced
2-3 Tbsp julienned sundried tomatoes
1-2 shallots, minced
Sea salt
Fresh ground pepper **
Heat olive oil in skillet, add garlic and sundried tomatoes, salt and pepper and shallots. Cook until tender.4-5 ounces fresh spinach leaves
1/3 c frozen green peas
Add spinach (bunches at a time), until just tender, then toss in peas just long enough to heat. Turn on the Boursin pot and add water from the pasta a little at a time to thin into a creamy sauce. Add chicken to the vegetable mixture and then pour sauce over the top – toss and serve. (Taste and add salt and pepper again, if desired.)
Tricia uses 2 chicken breasts in her recipe - feel free to add extra chicken for more protein balance. If your family likes goat cheese, try substituting soft goat cheese for Boursin cheese.
** Replace ground black pepper with a dash of cayenne for better digestability.
