CHICKEN & SPINACH FETTUCCINE BAKE



Chicken & Spinach Fettuccine Bake image

This fettucine dish is baked with garlic bread on top. For quicker preparation, use a packet of garlic bread. But if you've a little more time, then you'll probably want to make your own, which gives you so much more choice of what bread you use, how much garlic you add to it and if you want to add other herbs as well. The recipe also has instructions for heating and re-serving. I've included the instructions for a single 10-cup capacity dish, but if you are wanting to freeze smaller quantities in several smaller dishes, remember to adjust the cooking times appropriately. I've adapted this recipe substantially from one I found in a recent issue of the Australian magazine 'New Idea'. I've also recently posted recipes for a Greek Lamb & Yoghurt Pasta Bake and a Lentil & Sausage Lasagne (also a baked dish), both adapted from the same source, and with the same detailed instructions for freezing the recipe.

CHICKEN, SPINACH & BACON ALFREDO PASTA BAKE



Chicken, spinach & bacon alfredo pasta bake image

Make the popular Italian-American pasta dish, chicken alfredo. We've used chicken, spinach and crispy bacon crumbs, but mushrooms are good, too

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Dinner, Supper

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 smoked streaky bacon rashers
1 tbsp olive oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
½ tsp dried oregano
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 chicken stock cube
1 heaped tbsp plain flour
300ml double cream
500g short pasta (we used rigatoni)
100g parmesan, grated
2 tsp Dijon mustard
100g baby spinach, roughly chopped
large handful of fresh or dried breadcrumbs
3 tomatoes, chopped

Steps:

  • Heat the grill to high. Put the bacon rashers on a baking tray lined with foil and grill for 5 mins on each side until crisp. Leave to cool, then roughly chop.
  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan or high-sided frying pan over a high heat. Season the chicken, then brown on both sides. Sprinkle over the oregano and add the garlic, then stir for another minute. Crumble in the stock cube and add 250ml water.
  • Bring to a simmer, cover and reduce the heat to low-medium. Cook until the chicken is tender, about 15-20 mins, topping up with more water if the pan looks dry. Transfer the chicken to a board using tongs, then shred using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pan with the sauce.
  • Whisk the flour into the cooking juices in the pan, turn up the heat and keep stirring until you have a smooth paste that clings to the chicken. Add 500ml water and the cream, then simmer, stirring occasionally for 8-10 mins, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling salted water for about 10 mins until it is just cooked but retains some bite. Drain.
  • Add most of the parmesan, the mustard, spinach and half the chopped bacon to the sauce, then season to taste, if needed. Stir until the spinach has wilted, then stir in the cooked pasta.
  • Tip the mixture into a large baking dish. Mix the breadcrumbs with the remaining parmesan and scatter over the top along with the tomatoes and remaining chopped bacon. The unbaked dish can now be frozen for up to two months (see below).
  • To cook straightaway, heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bake for 35-40 mins, or until the top is golden and crunchy and the sauce is bubbling.
