FARFALLE WITH CHICKEN, MUSHROOMS, SPINACH AND RICOTTA CHEESE



Farfalle With Chicken, Mushrooms, Spinach and Ricotta Cheese image

This is a nice light pasta - the sauce isn't heavy (or, really, very saucy at all) and the ricotta makes it just a touch creamy. It's also quite healthy. This is one of those recipes that can be made quickly with what you have in the kitchen! Instead of overdoing the pasta - we used whole wheat pasta & bulked it up with veggies and lean chicken breast. The finished dish is very eye appealing and tastes marvelous! ellysaysopa.com. :)

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup drained and thinly sliced oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
3 6-ounce bags baby spinach
1 pound farfalle (bow-tie) pasta
1 cup ricotta cheese
Grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add walnuts and sauté until slightly darkened, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer nuts to small bowl; set aside. Add sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and crushed red pepper to same skillet. Sauté until garlic is golden, about 3 minutes. Add spinach in 3 batches and cook until wilted, about 10 minutes total.

Transfer reserved cooking liquid to large bowl; whisk in ricotta. Add walnuts, spinach mixture, and pasta; toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Serve, passing Parmesan cheese separately.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in your dish. Look for organic, local, and seasonal produce whenever possible.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. If you overcook it, it will become dry and tough.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices will add a lot of flavor to your dish. If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use about half the amount.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: This recipe is a great starting point, but feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors. For example, you could add some roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts, or sun-dried tomatoes.

Conclusion:

This farfalle with chicken, ricotta, spinach, and plum tomatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make meal. It's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
