Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients: Before starting, measure and chop all your ingredients. This will make the cooking process smoother and faster.
  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a better flavor and texture than frozen spinach. If you're using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess moisture before adding it to the dish.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly: Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure that it's safe to eat. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature before serving.
  • Add some spice: If you like a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or chili powder to the sauce. You can also add some chopped jalapeños for an extra kick.
  • Serve with a side salad: A simple side salad is a great way to balance out the richness of the spaghetti. A Caesar salad or a spinach salad with a balsamic vinaigrette would be delicious options.

Conclusion:

Baked spaghetti with chicken and spinach is a delicious and versatile dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
